Experiences with start/stop systems

Hey everyone!

I'm doing a university project on low-cost technologies to improve fuel efficiency and we are focusing on micro hybrid powertrains (start/stop automatic with regenerative braking).

I've seen that there's a lot of experimental activity in the forum and some of you are even trying to build such systems on their own or are improving existing ones.

I was wondering if you have experienced any limitations of micro hybrid systems regarding their fields of application. Are they appropriate to achieve noticeable fuel savings?
