Abstract

A V2X computing system to manage air quality by reducing carbon emissions by changing a vehicle mode of operation from fuel to battery. The system identifies the position of the vehicle and changes the mode of the vehicle to a target battery-based vehicle. The system calculates how much aggregated emission can be allowed within a defined time range around a geo-fencing area to identify appropriate distribution of battery-operated vehicle and fossil fuel-based vehicle to ensure the required air-quality. The system leverages historical data around environmental parameters like wind direction, speed, etc. for a period to calculate the emission requirements vs. predicted emission. The system uses this data to dynamically switch vehicle from using fuel power to battery power based on the capability available within the vehicle for environmental sustainability. The system further spaces vehicles appropriately to ensure the air quality is maintained on the road in a geo-fenced area.
