The increasing challenges of road safety and environmental sustainability necessitate effective driving strategies. Eco-driving has emerged as a promising approach to reducing pollutant emissions and mitigating crash risks. This study explores the impact of eco-driving in rural and mountainous areas through an experimental methodology using a driving simulator. A total of 39 participants were assessed across multiple driving scenarios before and after receiving eco-driving training, while their demographic, behavioral, and driving-related characteristics were systematically collected and analyzed through a questionnaire survey. Each individual completed two driving sessions per scenario: one under regular driving conditions and another following eco-driving training guidelines. To evaluate the influence of eco-driving on fuel consumption, crash probability, and pollutant emissions (CO₂, CO, and NOₓ), linear and logistic regression models were applied. The results indicate that adopting eco-driving practices leads to significant reductions in emissions, fuel consumption, and crash probability.
