Abstract

In some examples, user journey carbon footprint reduction may include generating, for a vehicle associated with a user, a carbon emission quota for user journey carbon footprint reduction. A predicted journey carbon emissions may be generated for the vehicle for a specified journey. Based on collaborative filtering, at least one goal-based and conditions-based recommendation may be generated for the user of the vehicle for the specified journey for the user journey carbon footprint reduction. Based on a user behavior model, a user-interface display may be generated for the specified journey for the user journey carbon footprint reduction. Further, based on the user behavior model, and real-time monitoring of the user and the vehicle, a real-time update of the user-interface display may be generated for the specified journey for the user journey carbon footprint reduction.
