Improving Our Driving Habits

Justin Doi

I am Justin Doi. I am a senior at HPA, and I am from the north shore of Kauai. I have noticed that Kauai relies heavily on the use of cars as a means of transportation because of the rural nature of the island. I wanted to come up with a solution to increase the sustainability of my home, and I determined that optimizing driving habits would be a meaningful way to do this. I am also excited about the implications of my project to other communities across the world.

Abstract

My capstone idea is to create a user interface system that would increase the gas-mileage efficiency of hybrid vehicles. I will use OBD2 scanners to collect my data as shown on the right. The data I collect on drivers of hybrid vehicles will give me insight on how certain habits effect the energy lost when braking, accelerating, or steering. I will then reach out to the drivers I used to collect data, and I will create a system that will give them suggestions on how they could drive to improve the efficiency of their car which will help improve their ecological footprint and decrease the cost of driving.
