DRIVING BEHAVIOR FEEDBACK INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A control system comprising:
- a controller configured to receive input indicative of at least vehicle acceleration and powertrain output power, and output at least one acceleration score based upon the input; and
an interface communicating with the controller and configured to display an acceleration feedback indicator indicative of the at least one acceleration score.

Abstract
One or more embodiments of the present application may provide a system and method for monitoring driver inputs and vehicle parameters, assessing a driver'"'"'s acceleration behavior, and providing short-term and/or long-term feedback to the driver relating to the driver'"'"'s acceleration behavior. The acceleration behavior feedback can be used to coach future driving acceleration behavior that may translate into better long-term driving habits, which in turn may lead to improvements in fuel economy or vehicle range. Moreover, the acceleration behavior feedback can be adapted to a driver based upon how responsive the driver is to the feedback.
