VEHICLE CARBON OUTPUT MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17887769 titled 'VEHICLE CARBON OUTPUT MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for determining the usage of internal combustible engine (ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles associated with an entity, calculating the impact of carbon output based on the vehicle usage, determining the amount of electric vehicle usage needed to offset the impact when it exceeds a threshold, and sending a notification to the entity with the usage information.

  • Determining usage of ICE vehicles and electric vehicles over time
  • Calculating carbon output impact based on vehicle usage
  • Determining required electric vehicle usage to offset impact
  • Sending notification to entity with usage information

Potential Applications

- Environmental monitoring and reporting - Fleet management optimization - Carbon footprint reduction strategies

Problems Solved

- Lack of visibility into carbon emissions from vehicle usage - Inefficient allocation of electric vehicle resources - Inadequate tracking of environmental impact

Benefits

- Improved sustainability practices - Cost savings through optimized vehicle usage - Enhanced environmental stewardship and compliance


Original Abstract Submitted

An example operation includes one or more of determining a usage of an internal combustible engine (ICE) vehicle and a usage of an electric vehicle over a period of time, where the vehicles are associated with an entity, determining an impact of carbon output, based on the usage determination, determining a usage amount of the electric vehicle to offset the impact, when the impact is greater than a first threshold, and sending a notification to a device associated with the entity, where the notification includes the amount of usage of the electric vehicle.
