• Energy-efficiency and safety became an important factor for car manufacturers. Thus, the cars have been optimised regarding the energy consumption and safety by optimising for example the power train or the engine. Besides the optimisation of the car itself, energy-efficiency and safety can also be increased by adapting the individual driving behaviour to the current driving situation. This paper introduces a driving system, which is in development. Its goal is to optimise the driving behaviour in terms of energy-efficiency and safety by giving recommendations to the driver. For the creation of a recommendation the driving system monitors the driver and the current driving situation as well as the car using in-vehicle sensors and serial-bus systems. On the basis of the acquired data, the driving system will give individual energy-efficiency and safety recommendations in real-time. This will allow eliminating bad driving habits, while considering the driver needs.
