Abstract

Smart usage of energy is one of the most important topics. It also includes personal vehicles, regardless of means of propulsion. Most problematic are those that run on fossil fuels. Reserves of fossil fuels are limited, also during combustion of those fuels, harmful emissions are produced in a form of gases and dust particles. The purpose of this diploma thesis is to develop a system for optimizing users path based on his driving habits. System is divided into two parts. First is a mobile application for Android device and second is a server application, which runs as a web service on application server Tomcat. Both parts are presented in this thesis. Presented in this thesis is OBD II standard, which is used to gather fuel consumption data available in a test vehicle, and fuel consumption calculation based on that data. Also presented are three algorithms, which are used by the system. These are map matching algorithm, modified A* algorithm for best path search and classification based on associations algorithm. Mobile device is connected to server via REST web service. Transferred data include partly aggregated data about driving in direction to server and calculated best path in direction of mobile device. In the final section testing and future development is described.
