Abstract
Methods and a system are provided for monitoring and processing the emissions footprint of one or more vehicles. An embodiment of an onboard vehicle method involves the collection of vehicle data from onboard data sources and the computation of an emissions value from the vehicle data. The emissions value indicates a total amount of a substance, such as carbon dioxide, released from the vehicle during a measurement period. The method also generates indicia of the emissions value with an onboard subsystem.
