  • Publication number: 20240273557
    Abstract: A method for providing an NFT includes receiving CAN data from a current vehicle of a user, receiving, with the computing device, a specification of a new vehicle of the user, calculating an estimated carbon footprint based on CAN data from the current vehicle, calculating an expected carbon footprint based on the specification of the new vehicle and driving behavior defined by the CAN data from the current vehicle, determining a difference between the estimated carbon footprint and the expected carbon footprint, qualifying the new vehicle for the NFT, in response to determining that the difference is greater than a threshold value and the expected carbon footprint is less than the estimated carbon footprint, in response to qualifying the new vehicle for the NFT, executing an NFT design process, and causing the NFT generated by the NFT design process to be delivered to the user.

  • 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: 20240067196
    Abstract: A method for monitoring driving behavior of a vehicle includes obtaining first information including values related to driving operations of a vehicle based on sensors and obtaining a geographical location or a vehicle type of the vehicle. The method also includes extracting second information including values related to operations of vehicles associated with the vehicle type of the vehicle or the geographical location of the vehicle and determining whether there is a difference between the first information and the second information. The method further includes instructing the vehicle to adjust driving operations in response to determining that there is the difference between the first information and the second information.

  • 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.
