Rajesh Mondal , International Centre For Automotive Technology (Icat), Im t, Manesar, Gurgaon 122050, Haryana, IndiaAbstract
The pursuit of sustainable transportation solutions has led to the development of innovative technologies aimed at optimizing fuel consumption. This study focuses on the design and development of a Digital Fuel Economizer, a novel device designed to enhance fuel efficiency in vehicles. The Digital Fuel Economizer utilizes real-time data acquisition and analysis to provide drivers with actionable insights into their driving habits and fuel consumption patterns. By incorporating advanced sensors and data processing algorithms, the device offers personalized feedback and recommendations to promote fuel-saving practices. The study presents the design methodology, hardware and software components, and validation results of the Digital Fuel Economizer. The findings highlight the potential of this technology to contribute to greener and more cost-effective transportation.
