Abstract

Recent advances in wireless communication technologies have led to numerous new developments that take advantage of network access, ranging from real-time information delivery essential for many driving decisions to harvesting off-board computing power for remote vehicle diagnostics. Specifically, with the ever increasing fuel cost, there is growing popularity of services that provide information to drivers on current gas prices and alerts on upcoming changes to gas prices. This paper demonstrates how to take currently available technology one step further by providing a proactive refueling advisory system based on minimizing fuel costs over routes and time. The system integrates vehicle data, a navigation system, and internet connectivity to supplant the existing vehicle low fuel warning with a comprehensive decision support system on refueling choices.
