MyGreenCar – Personalized Vehicle Energy Efficiency and Range Predictor 2014-134
ABSTRACT: Berkeley Lab's Samveg Saxena has developed MyGreenCar, an app enabling selection of an energy efficient car model based on a user's unique driving style and patterns. A user installs the app and selects cars of interest from a database of almost 5,000 car models. As the user drives in typical traffic and topography, the MyGreenCar model predicts and summarizes … [Read more...] about MyGreenCar – Personalized Vehicle Energy Efficiency and Range Predictor 2014-134
