Intelligent transport systems a comprehensive way to regulate and curb vehicular pollution

Given the role that transport plays in causing green house gas emissions, any serious action on climate change will zoom in on the transport sector., Yvo de Boer, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Tokyo, January 2009 With the global environmental changing and energy scarcity, human pay attention to the living conditions. Automobiles, consuming energy and emitting harmful substance, become the focus of attention. To minimize such emission the automobile engineers have been working relentlessly. Researchers have been trying hard to switch fossil fuel to alternative fuels and attempting to various driving strategies to make traffic flow smooth and to reduce traffic congestion and emission of greenhouse gas. Automobile emits a massive amount of pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). This paper investigates the ITS techniques and technologies for the reduction of fuel consumption and minimization of the exhaust pollutant. It highlights the environmental impact of the ITS application to provide the state-of-art green solution. y. Both the environmental concern and availability of fuels greatly affect fuel trends for transportation vehicles.
