What do you do when you are asked to drive your car economically?
You probably follow some so-called eco-driving tips, like "accelerate smoothly," "travel at low revolutions" and "drive at a moderate speed."

But wait a second. Do you have any specific criteria for eco-driving?
Can you tell exactly how smoothly you should depress the gas pedal to avoid sudden acceleration? Can you figure out the engine revolution for peak driving performance from one moment to the next? Which speed is the most appropriate to achieve the best fuel economy?

These widely known eco-driving practices in fact are based on personal hunches and unreliable guesswork.

Don't you think eco-driving practices should be calculated in a more proper and accurate way?Don't you think drivers should achieve economical, environmentally friendly driving practices based on objective scientific data?

As environmental issues have become one of today's most important challenges, various harmful emissions (such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur oxide and particulate matter) and exhaustion of fossil fuels are causing us great concern. At the same time, companies involved in logistic services are keen to reduce their vehicular fuel consumption in their cost cutting efforts.

Miyama Inc., a company offering comprehensive services for environmental conservation, has developed the MHS-01 Eco-Driving Navigation System as an on-board device which serves both ecology and economy by reducing harmful emissions and conserving fuel by giving direct, precise advice to drivers.

The MHS-01 analyzes the engine performance of each vehicle, road conditions such as surface resistance and other factors in real time, and instantaneously gives the driver instructions for peak performance. The system redefines the conventional, vague concept of "eco-driving" by expressing it in the form of accurate numerical data which guides drivers on how to achieve eco-driving.
