One embodiment provides a method for determining at least one recommended vehicular travel route, the method including collecting a plurality of travel route inputs from a plurality of sources, relative to a travel route comprising a starting point and an ending point; determining at least one travel route recommendation by (i) assessing the collected plurality of travel route inputs and (ii) taking in to consideration vehicle emission impact parameters; and tracking vehicle adherence. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

Travel planning based on minimizing impact of vehicular emission

Methods, systems, and computer program products for suggesting sensor placements are provided herein. A method includes simulating the concentration of a pollutant over an area covered by a sensor network grid by applying models to an emission inventory corresponding to the area; computing any discrepancy between the simulated concentration and historical data; applying scaling vectors to the first version to generate scaled versions of the emission inventory; re-simulating the concentration of the pollutant by applying the models to the scaled versions, and computing any discrepancy between the re-simulated concentrations and the historical data; identifying each scaling vector that corresponds with a discrepancy within a pre-determined range; applying the identified scaling vectors to an emission inventory value of each of the grid blocks to generate scaled emission inventory values; determining the grid blocks having high variability within scaled emission inventory values; and suggesting a sensor placement at the determined grid blocks.
