Installed mainly on commercial fleet vehicles (80 fleets so far), the device can have its algorithm customized according to a customer\u2019s priorities, and it communicates information via cellular networks to GreenRoad\u2019s data center. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe brains are in the vehicle,\u201d GreenRoad marketing chief Eric Weiss told us earlier this month, so even in areas without cellular coverage, drivers \u201calways get real-time feedback.\u201d Earlier this month Earth2Tech\u2019s Josie explained the service as<\/a> \u201cthink of it as a friendly backseat driver with a remarkable mind for calculating risk and a keen ability to cut your fuel use and emissions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The crucial part of GreenRoad\u2019s tool is the real-time service. It\u2019s only through constant reminding that the driver will change his\/her behavior. Without that piece the service would just be a more high-tech driving lesson. The Prius\u2019s dashboard has been one of the pioneers of showing how drivers will utilize real-time information to affect their driving decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n Companies that are building tools for the power grid, like home energy management dashboards, are also starting to embrace real-time data. The California Public Utilities Commission has said<\/a> that it wants the the big investor-owned utilities to provide customers and approved third parties with \u201cnear real time\u201d data from smart meters. Check out this piece I wrote last year<\/a> about how important real-time data is for changing home energy consumption and also for delivering innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n GreenRoad isn\u2019t the only one looking to provide real-time driving feedback to make transportation more efficient. A lot of the big car companies are starting to investigate this space. Ford has developed an instrument cluster<\/a> that provides basic information. Honda developed a video game-like system called \u201cEco Assist\u201d for its new Insight that\u2019s meant to not only provide fuel-efficiency feedback, but also \u201cactually help drivers to learn a better way of driving through instruments and electronic indications,\u201d as chief engineer Yasunari Seki told us last year<\/a>. And last year Volvo unveiled a prototype of its CO2 \u201cpedometer\u201d software, which lets mobile-phone users track their daily travels and carbon footprint. (For more about some of these services check out GigaOM Pro<\/a>, subscription required.)<\/span><\/p>\n GreenRoad launched commercially in 2007, but was founded 7 years ago. The company has now raised close to $50 million.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des indicateurs nouveaux, consommation, CO2, pour tous les modes de transport, r\u00e9alisation d\u2019outils…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[17,52,64,72,108,142],"class_list":["post-723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-assistant-de-mobilite","tag-connectivite","tag-donnees-reelles","tag-efficacite-energetique","tag-internet","tag-partage-de-donnees"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
<\/span>GreenRoad<\/font><\/a> \u2014 a driving system that can improve fuel efficiency and reduce crashes. This morning GreenRoad announced that it has raised another $10 million<\/a> from the Generation IM Climate Solutions Fund, which was created by investor David Blood<\/a> and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore. The so-called Blood and Gore duo join a long list of investors including Richard Branson\u2019s Virgin Green Fund, and the VCs at Benchmark Capital.<\/span><\/p>\n
