Abstract [sv]

Detta examensarbete undersöker om en statistikfunktion i Volvo Cars-appen, liknande Volvo Connect, kan bidra till att främja trafiksäkerhet och hållbar körning i enlighet med Volvos Nollvision: målet att ingen ska dödas eller skadas allvarligt i en ny Volvo. Studien bygger på en kombination av litteraturstudie, enkätundersökning, intervju samt en prototyputveckling i Figma. Resultatet visar att digital återkoppling, såsom den som erbjuds via Volvo Connect i yrkestrafiken, har en positiv inverkan på förarens körbeteende och kunskap om EcoDriving. Självskattad kunskap om hållbar körning ökade från ett medelvärde på 3,3 före användning till 4,6 efter. En intervju med en erfaren yrkesförare stärkte bilden av att digitala verktyg kan fungera som en pedagogisk spegel för föraren. Studien drar slutsatsen att en liknande funktion i Volvo Cars-appen kan bidra till säkrare och mer hållbar körning, under förutsättning att återkopplingen är tydlig, relevant och motiverande.

Abstract [en]

This thesis investigates whether a statistics feature in the Volvo Cars app, similar to Volvo Connect, can help promote traffic safety and sustainable driving, in line with Volvo’s Vision Zero: the goal that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo. The study combines a literature review, a survey, an interview, and a prototype developed in Figma. The results show that digital feedback, such as that offered through Volvo Connect in the professional transport sector, has a positive effect on drivers’ behavior and knowledge of EcoDriving. Self-assessed knowledge of sustainable driving increased from an average score of 3.3 before using Volvo Connect to 4.6 after. An interview with an experienced professional driver supported the idea that digital tools can serve as an educational mirror for drivers. The study concludes that a similar feature in the Volvo Cars app could contribute to safer and more sustainable driving, as long as the feedback is clear, relevant, and motivating.
