Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer implemented method for providing in advance information on driving actions for improving the global efficiency of a vehicle. The method comprising the steps of receiving vehicle technical data (VTD) from a VTD processor at a processing device; generating local information at the processing device from the received VTD and processing device information generated by the processing device; creating remote information at a remote server from the processing device information, external data provider information coming from one or more external data providers and client logistic information; and presenting the remote information and optionally the local information to the driving agent in advance of the driving action using the processing device. A system for carrying out said method comprising at least one processing device connected to a remote server is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system comprises fuel consumption prediction circuitry and user interface circuitry. The fuel consumption prediction circuitry is operable to receive trip constraints for a trip to be made by a vehicle, and vehicle information for the vehicle. The fuel consumption prediction circuitry is operable to generate, based on the trip constraints and the vehicle information, a first trip option having a first predicted travel time and a first predicted fuel consumption, and a second trip option having a second predicted travel time and a second predicted fuel consumption. The fuel consumption prediction circuitry is operable to communicate the first trip option and the second trip option to user interface circuitry. The user interface circuitry is operable to receive the first trip option and the second trip option and present the options to a user.
