vehicle could not pass the intersection within 
remaining green time. In Figures 8 and 11, a vehicle 
without the eco-guidance starts to decelerate the 
speed from the yellow signal and waits for the green 
signal at the stop bar. The vehicle with the eco-
guidance passed the intersection without deceleration 
within the extended green time. As the results, the 
eco-guidance significantly reduced fuel consumption 
by 40.16% compared with the driving without the 
guidance as shown in Table 2 (α < 0.05). This is 
because the vehicle could pass the intersection 
without unnecessary deceleration. Moreover, the eco-
guidance also significantly reduced travel-time by 
65.7% to pass the intersection with the eco-guidance 
system (α<0.05). 
Scenario 3 is the case the red time remains 12 
seconds. In this scenario, the vehicle without the eco-
guidance approached to the stop-bar without the 
information of remaining red time. As shown in 
Figure 9, the vehicle decelerated to the stop-bar and 
then accelerated when the traffic light changed to 
green. The vehicle with the eco-guidance accelerated 
from 0 to the recommended speed and maintained the 
speed during the remaining red time. As shown in 
Table 2, the eco-guidance reduced fuel consumption 
and travel time when compared  without  case  by     
27.3% and 23.4% (α<0.05), respectively. This is 
because the vehicle does not need to decelerate while 
approaching to the intersection during it followed 
eco-guidance information.  
Because the participants complied the eco-
guidance very well, vehicle speeds with eco-guidance 
and recommended speed by eco-guidance were 
similar as shown in Figures 7, 8, and 9. 
5 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE 
WORK 
In this paper, we proposed an eco-speed guidance 
system using a hybrid of eco-driving and eco-signal 
mechanisms. Our system guides the recommended 
speed to a driver based on driver acceleration/ 
deceleration behavior, SPaT information, and the 
remaining distance from the intersection. We 
evaluated our proposed system with field tests using 
communication devices (e.g., DSRC) in terms of fuel 
consumption collected via CAN data and travel time. 
As a result, we found that the proposed system 
contributes to reduce fuel consumption and travel 
time when a driver complied eco-guidance 
information.  
In the near future, we will further investigate the 
effect of multiple vehicles on the eco-guidance and 
the safety critical issues and improve our system to 
cover the more complicated situation on the vehicles, 
which partially follow the guidance, in field. 
Moreover, we will consider multiple intersections in 
a wide test region to test various scenarios and the 
more accurate vehicle localization to calculate the 
precise recommended speed to overcome GPS errors.
