Development of Driver Behavior Research on Vehicles: Article Review

Abstract

Driver behavior is a variable that significantly influences fuel use, which is a very concerning issue due to the high cost of fossil fuels caused by the limited amount of energy in the market. Therefore, several breakthroughs have been conducted to realize vehicles with high fuel efficiency. This is in addition to the continuous study of electric, hybrid, gas, and fuel cell vehicles, as well as the development of intelligent control systems. Research on driver behavior has been carried out with several variables, however, none have been conducted on this factor related to fuel consumption. This research aims to review the development of driver behavior as the supporting variable in vehicles. Data were collected from dozens of scientific articles stored in search engines, such as Science Direct, Scopus, Springer link, and ProQuest. The articles found were then filtered based on the closeness with the themes discussed, hence only 13 were reviewed and grouped into five research theme areas. These include car, safety systems, vehicle and emission control, as well graphic display themes. The results provided an overview of the potential development of driver behavior in the future.
