Abstract: |
Cars with petrol-driven internal
combustion engines are sources of air pollution. Until alternative car
engines will replace petrol-driven engines, road transportation is a major
source for emissions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, and
many other organic compounds into the environment. There is a direct relation
between the car’s emissions and its acceleration: an accelerating car will
pollute more than a non-speeding car. In this paper we present a mobile
system capable of guiding the driver’s decisions with the goal of reducing
vehicle emissions. The system considers parameters ranging from the car’s
characteristics to human reactions. In this we present results demonstrating
the capability of the system to produce decisions that reduce pollution in
urban traffic environment. |
