Driving modification to decrease carbon
An example operation includes determining a driving style of a vehicle, wherein the driving style is associated with a greatest amount of carbon emissions over a period; and notifying a device associated with the vehicle, wherein the notifying includes a modification of the driving style, an environmental benefit, and a value, when an amount of carbon emissions for the modification of the driving style falls below the greatest amount in a future period equal to the period.
1 . A method performed by a processor of a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving data from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle, the data indicating a driving behavior of the vehicle during a predefined period;
identifying a driving style of the vehicle based on the data, wherein the driving style results in a certain level of carbon emissions during the predefined period;
calculating an expected reduction in carbon emissions achievable by modifying the driving style;
generating a notification comprising:
a recommended modification to the driving style, and
a carbon credit corresponding to the expected reduction in carbon emissions;
transmitting the notification to a device associated with the vehicle for display to a user; and
in response to verifying that the recommended modification was implemented, issuing the carbon credit to an account associated with the vehicle.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notifying includes displaying the recommended modification, an environmental benefit, and the carbon credit on the display.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the driving style is determined as an average driving style calculated from sensor data and linked to a greater carbon emission level than a reference average driving style calculated using historical data of similar vehicles stored in a server.
4 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining, by the processor, an estimated reduction in carbon emissions resulting from not performing the driving style in a subsequent period.
5 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
analyzing, by the processor, real-time and historical maintenance data of the vehicle to identify maintenance actions that reduce carbon emissions, and
wherein the notification further comprises a recommendation for performing specific maintenance actions to achieve emission reduction.
6 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
identifying, by the processor, an alternate route based on road conditions, traffic data, and topography to reduce carbon emissions compared to a current route, and
wherein the notification further comprises the alternate route and its associated reduction in emissions.
7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
adjusting the driving style to provide a recommended driving style adjustment for emission reduction by analyzing one or more of:
acceleration requirements for a current route and an alternate route,
elevation changes along at least one of the current route or the alternate route, or
a number of stops along the at least one of the current route or the alternate route.
8 . A system, comprising:
a processor of a vehicle that, when executing instructions stored in a memory, is configured to:
receive data from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle, the data indicating a driving behavior of the vehicle during a predefined period;
identify a driving style of the vehicle based on the data, wherein the driving style results in a certain level of carbon emissions during the predefined period;
calculate an expected reduction in carbon emissions achievable by modifying the driving style;
generate a notification comprising:
a recommended modification to the driving style, and
a carbon credit corresponding to the expected reduction in carbon emissions;
transmit the notification to a device associated with the vehicle for display to a user; and
in response to verification that the recommended modification was implemented, issue the carbon credit to an account associated with the vehicle.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the notifying includes displaying the recommended modification, an environmental benefit, and the carbon credit on the display.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the driving style is determined as an average driving style calculated from sensor data and linked to a greater carbon emission level than a reference average driving style calculated using historical data of similar vehicles stored in a server.
11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine an estimated reduction in carbon emissions resulting from not performing the driving style in a subsequent period.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
analyze real-time and historical maintenance data of the vehicle to identify maintenance actions that reduce carbon emissions, and
wherein the notification further comprises a recommendation for performing specific maintenance actions to achieve emission reduction.
13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
identify an alternate route based on road conditions, traffic data, and topography to reduce carbon emissions compared to a current route, and
wherein the notification further comprises the alternate route and its associated reduction in emissions.
14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
adjust the driving style to provide a recommended driving style adjustment for emission reduction by analyzing based on one or more of:
acceleration requirements for a current route and an alternate route,
elevation changes along at least one of the current route or the alternate route, or
a number of stops along the at least one of the current route or the alternate route.
15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a vehicle, cause the processor to perform:
receiving data from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle, the data indicating a driving behavior of the vehicle during a predefined period;
identifying a driving style of the vehicle based on the data, wherein the driving style results in a certain level of carbon emissions during the predefined period;
calculating an expected reduction in carbon emissions achievable by modifying the driving style;
generating a notification comprising:
a recommended modification to the driving style, and
a carbon credit corresponding to the expected reduction in carbon emissions;
transmitting the notification to a device associated with the vehicle for display to a user; and
in response to verifying that the recommended modification was implemented, issuing the carbon credit to an account associated with the vehicle.
16 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the notifying includes displaying the recommended modification, an environmental benefit, and the carbon credit on the display.
17 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the driving style is determined as an average driving style calculated from sensor data and linked to a greater carbon emission level than a reference average driving style calculated using historical data of similar vehicles stored in a server.
18 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
determining an estimated reduction in carbon emissions resulting from not performing the driving style in a subsequent period.
19 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to perform:
analyzing real-time and historical maintenance data of the vehicle to identify maintenance actions that reduce carbon emissions, and
wherein the notification further comprises a recommendation for performing specific maintenance actions to achieve emission reduction.
