CARBON DIOXIDE MONITORING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES, CARBON DIOXIDE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND CARBON DIOXIDE MANAGEMENT METHOD USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide monitoring apparatus for vehicles, and to a carbon dioxide management system and carbon dioxide management method using same. It is an aim of the present invention to provide a carbon dioxide monitoring apparatus for vehicles, as well as a carbon dioxide management system and a carbon dioxide management method using same, which enable drivers and passengers to visually check the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by vehicles to alert the drivers and passengers to the emission of carbon dioxide, and which compensate vehicle owners for reducing the emission of carbon dioxide by maintaining a constant travel speed or the like, thereby correcting driving habits and reducing the emission of carbon dioxide, thus achieving environmentally-friendly fuel-saving effects. To accomplish the aim, the carbon dioxide monitoring apparatus for vehicles according to the present invention comprises: a microcomputer (110) in which identification numbers of vehicles are stored; detection means for detecting travel-related information from vehicles in accordance with the control of the microcomputer; arithmetic operation means for calculating the amount of CO₂ reduction by comparing the amount of CO₂ emitted, obtained from the travel-related information, to standard fuel efficiency; transmitting/receiving means for transmitting/receiving arithmetic operation information on the amount of CO₂ emitted through a wired or wireless system; an external output port (150) for outputting the arithmetic operation information on the amount of CO₂ emitted and travel-related information stored in the microcomputer (110) to the outside; and a display (160) for displaying the arithmetic operation information on the amount of CO₂ emitted on a real-time basis.
