CO2 Emission Rating by Vehicles Using Data Science

The usage of private transportation is a significant contributor to the exacerbation of global warming. When a gallon of gasoline is burned in a car’s engine, it produces approximately 24 pounds of greenhouse gases, which contribute to about 20% of total emissions. Most of these emissions, over 19 pounds, are released directly from the car’s tailpipe as heat-trapping pollutants. However, the number of emissions produced during the fuel’s extraction, manufacture, and delivery processes is relatively small in comparison. On average, gasoline-powered vehicles that are commonly used on roads around the world have a fuel efficiency of 22 miles per gallon and travel 11,500 miles per year. For every gallon of fuel used, these vehicles produce about 8,887 grams of carbon dioxide. In 1998, the auto industry made a voluntary pledge to cut emissions from new cars by 25 percent by 2008. At that time, new cars’ CO

emissions on the road were roughly 203 gram per kilometer. They are currently hovering at 170 gram per kilometer and won’t likely drop to 140g/km until around 2020. The amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a vehicle can vary depending on factors such as the type of gasoline used, the vehicle’s fuel efficiency, and the distance it travels in a year. The projected accuracy decreases as the number of controlled and uncontrolled effect variables that affect the properties of CO

increases. Nevertheless, by taking into account the controllable effect factors and their interactions, a few experimental designs have been proposed. The Road and Transport Authority will seize that specific car if the model we developed to anticipate gas emission from cars exceeds the threshold. The model uses the properties of the car to specify if the car has exceeded the threshold value of CO

. One excellent method for forecasting the CO

emission rating is supervised machine learning.
