26 February 2013

The Eco-Drive Management System (EMS) operated with the smart phone application, developed

in Japan, is to be introduced to the taxi operation in Hanoi. EMS equipment is installed in 10 taxis

during the Study.

① Collection and analysis of the taxi operation data before the EMS introduction

② Eco-Drive Training Program based on the Japanese knowhow

③ Verification of the emission reductions realized by the EMS introduction

２．Outline of EMS

Eco-Drive Training Program

Low-cost and effective support of eco drive promotion and management by using the smartphone application

capable of recording real-time taxi operation and providing on-board diagnoses

Real-time records of operation are wirelessly transmitted to the smartphone by means of commercially

available Bluetooth connected to the OBD2 scanner (on-board diagnostics) installed in each taxi (55

types of data are recorded, including instant-by-instant records of fuel efficiency and operating speed

and GPS coordinates)

■ Three-day course in September 2012 for 22 participants

・A designated course is cruised twice by taxis, once in the normal manner

(without project activity) and once in the eco drive mode. The records

are collated for comparative analysis.

■ Eco-Drive Training (two courses to be provided)

・Suburban course: Cruising without interruptions of traffic congestion

・Inner city course: Cruising in traffic congestion mixed with other

automobiles and motor cycles

Suburban Course (Uncongested Traffic)

・No. of participants: 16 taxi drivers

・Driving experiences: average of 4.5 years

・Fuel efficiency improvement: average of

5.6% (a range of-3%～23%)

Average 5.6%

Inner City Course (Congested Traffic)

・ No. of participants: 6 taxi drivers

・ Driving experiences: average of 5.4years

・ Fuel efficiency improvement: average of

6.6% (a range of -17% ～ 17%)

Aaverage 6.6%

Constant Emission Factor per km Decreasing Emission Factor per km

Op.1 Measurement of

target taxis

The reference efficiency is obtained by the measurement before the eco drive

introduction and used throughout the project duration. 𝑹𝑭𝑪𝒊(𝒙) = 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕

Op.2 Rate of improvement

The reference rate of efficiency𝑷𝑽𝑬,𝒊(𝒙) is calculated from the field test of with and

without situations before the eco drive introduction. 𝑹𝑭𝑪𝒊(𝒙)＝𝑷𝑭𝑪𝒊𝒙 ,𝒚/𝟏−𝑷𝑽𝑬,𝒊(𝒙)

Op.3 Measurement of a

control group of taxis

A control group of taxis are designated and the reference efficiency is calculated by

measuring them throughout the project duration.

Eligibility Requirements of the Project Activities

for Applying MRV Methodology

•Composite program of activities that could contribute to the

fuel efficiency improvement of the taxi operation.

•Operated distance, occupancy rate and fuel consumption of the

taxi fleet are to be closely managed.

•The proposed activities are supported by Japanese technology,

experts and finance.

４．Results of the Study and the Future Prospects

Results of the Study

The Study has built up the MRV methodology of wide applicability and used it to calculated the estimated emission reductions by the proposed program

of activities.

The Study has implemented the eco drive training program and thereby established the procedure from the preparation of the curriculum and the text to

the implementation of training.

The Study has ascertained the positive effect of the eco drive activities on vehicle/fuel efficiency improvement and the stakeholders (taxi companies and

drivers) are now aware of the positive impact of the project activities.

Future Prospects

In addition to the proposed eco drive activities, the Study examined the possible introduction of low-carbon vehicles which promises a higher cost benefit

ratio. This has resulted in the recommendation of a scheme which will be operated by an EMS Center (to be newly established) and combine the hardware

investment with software activities to achieve a higher level of GHG emission reductions.*

*The EMS center can collect and manage vehicle operation database and feedback the results of diagnoses to target vehicles (EMS System users) and

offer eco drive advices as well.

It must be noted, however, that the suggested scheme would require a sizable capital outlay and some period of preparation. Instead of jumping to the

construction of the EMS Center and related equipment investment, it is better, for the time being, to identify a format or an approach which will

encourage self-governance of taxi operators regarding eco drive activities. More specifically, the texts used for training during the Study can be put to

good use with appropriate updates to continue and expand the training program. The training course for eco drive instructors can be set up within Hanoi

Taxi Group with technical support from the University of Transport Technology (UTT) that has been promoting its own eco drive program for some time.
