  • Publication number: 20240242545
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240211964
    Abstract: An example operation includes comparing a first set of driving styles for a vehicle to a second set of driving styles for one or more similar vehicles in a geographic area over a period, wherein the first set of driving styles affects a carbon footprint of the vehicle and the second set of driving styles affects another carbon footprint of the one or more similar vehicles; determining a carbon credit when the carbon footprint of the vehicle is lower than the another carbon footprint of the one or more similar vehicles, by a threshold, based on the comparing; and applying the carbon credit to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12000706
    Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining a first carbon footprint of a first mode of transportation and a second carbon footprint of a second mode of transportation, where the first mode of transportation is a primary mode of transportation and the second carbon footprint is less than the first carbon footprint, responsive to the first carbon footprint being above a threshold, calculating a period of time the second mode of transportation is utilized to negate an amount above the threshold, and sending a notification to use the second mode of transportation for the period of time.

  • Publication number: 20240035836
    Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of: determining a first subgroup of a group of vehicles and a second subgroup of the group of vehicles, wherein the second subgroup has a higher carbon footprint than the first subgroup; and determining a driving behavior modification of a vehicle in the second subgroup based on a driving behavior of one or more vehicles in the first subgroup.
