Today I had a choice of three routes, all of which had similar times and distances so I wondered which was most fuel efficient. On the one hand, staying on the streets avoids the high speed of the freeway. On the other hand, driving the streets means more stops and starts due to stop lights. Of course, it's impossible to know at how many intersections you'll actually have to stop.

For EV's this is not always the fact, Curtis. They consume much more energy at higher speeds. This is totally different from petrol cars.

Not true Oto. Sometimes a longer, more fuel efficient route (a highway) will use less fuel than a shorter less fuel efficient (city street) route.

Eco could be the route that uses the least fuel, less stop starts etc.

Seria interessante incluir o cálculo de rotas pelo menor consumo de combustível.

Conforme estudo feito pela Companhia de Engenharia de Tráfego de São Paulo, o consumo total de gasolina (G), num percurso de distância D e duração t é dado simplesmente por:
G = K1 D + K2 t

Após a equação ter sido calibrada no trânsito urbano, para um veículo específico, o consumo de gasolina para um percurso particular pode ser estimado pela medição da distância e do tempo de viagem, sendo suficiente para tanto um odômetro e um relógio. O presente estudo tem por finalidade examinar a generalidade das equações apresentadas e interpretar os coeficientes K1 e K2.

Objetivos Específicos do Estudo
• Aplicar a equação à viagens realizadas por motoristas distintos, sob diversas condições de tráfego, para testar a sua adequabilidade na avaliação do consumo de gasolina.
• Observar o efeito sobre o consumo quando motoristas são instruídos para dirigirem de maneira diferente da “normal”.
• As constantes K1 e K2 Têm sido correlacionadas à características facilmente mensuráveis dos veículos. Essa interpretação é aqui examinada para vários tipos de veículos.

Actually we can select shortest road fastest road.... but could be good to know how many will cost Highway toll to select the best road or see each price Highway toll and why not being able to select what highway we will paid or not because some are so expensive like that we could get cheaper way

Actuellement nous pouvons selectionner la route la plus courte ou la plus rapide mais pourquoi ne pas ajouter une options indiquant le tarif total des autoroutes ou indépendament afin de pouvoir éviter certains péage spécifique qui sont parfois fort couteux et peux utile ainsi rendre la route plus rentable

I, too, would like to see a "most energy efficient" route type along with "fastest," and "shortest." I drive a Nissan Leaf, and using the Avoid freeways routing works fairly well, but avoiding hills and such would be nice, too.

Hola, el viaje Madrid-Bilbao, se puede hacer todo por peaje 22€, sin embargo si haces un tramo por carretera nacional (Ameyugo-Armiñón) te sale por 5,50€, además hay un tramo de peaje que es gratuito y waze no lo contempla.

Avoir un choix supplémentaire « économique » je n’aime pas faire 10km de plus pour gagner 1 minute, avoir le choix sur ce se rapport km/mn.

Proposer des sorties de l'autoroute pour payer moins cher le trajet total. Exit proposition to pays less on motorway.

I agree. Waze picks the fastest route to my parents house at 23 minutes, it's 22 miles and a $0.90 toll. Taking the street it's 25 minutes, 10 miles and no toll. I burn half a gallon less of gas, half the wear and tear on my car and don't have to pay a toll for a 2 minutes longer trip. Which is the greener route?

Waze doesn't have terrain model(3d map) the map is flat. Just take a shortest and it will consume less fuel.

Somente pelo fato da rota ser mais curta n"ao indica que é a mais econômica por conta do trânsito ser mais travado, com muitos redutores de velocidade, vias esburacadas/irregulares e sinais.

Both electric cars and everyone who cares about fuel efficiency would love to find a route that uses the least amount of fuel/energy. It would be great if Waze could calculate a route based on fuel consumption and suggest a route that uses less. It would be a wonderful thing if Waze could say,"We help save x tons of CO2 every day by routing drivers to be more fuel efficient".

What's a "chip route"?

To suggest chip route (less stop-start)

I would love to have the "economic" route to reduce car costs which could take into account : obligatory stops, less traffic, more constant speed (less break and acceleration), highway costs, ... We can also imagine a slide where we can adapt the time vs cost !

Companies need to deliver and collect goods at various locations. But they do not know the fastest and most economical way. And check needs to be done the way the delivery.

Fucking hippies

Includes less corners, less obligatory stops, less traffic, higher speed, well conservaded roads...
