1. A method of providing feedback to an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting a release of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle;
monitoring a distance traveled by the vehicle between the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected and the vehicle reaches a stop;
determining the distance traveled and a speed of the vehicle at the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected to calculate a point score; and
displaying the point score for review by the operator of the vehicle.

Abstract
A system and method of providing feedback to an operator of a vehicle is presented. A release of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle is detected and a distance traveled by the vehicle between the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected and the vehicle reaches a stop is measured. The distance traveled and a speed of the vehicle at the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected is determined to calculate a point score. After the point score is calculated, the point score is displayed for review by the operator of the vehicle.

9. A system for providing feedback to an operator of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a pedal sensor configured to detect a position of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle; a movement sensor configured to detect a movement of the vehicle; a controller configured to; detect a release of an accelerator pedal of the vehicle through the pedal sensor, monitor a distance traveled by the vehicle between the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected and the vehicle reaches a stop through the movement sensor, and determine a point score through the distance traveled and a speed of the vehicle at the time the release of the accelerator pedal is detected; and a display configured to output the point score for review by the operator of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
