METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING AND REPORTING TO AN OPERATOR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION FROM A VEHICLE

摘要

A method and system for monitoring greenhouse gas emission from a vehicle. The vehicle is monitored for greenhouse gas emission, which includes identifying a running total of greenhouse gas emitted by the vehicle into an external environment that is external to the vehicle. Satisfaction of a payment triggering condition that triggers collection of a required payment pertaining to the identified running total of greenhouse gas emitted is detected. Responsive to the detecting satisfaction of the payment triggering condition the required payment is computed as a function of the stored running total of greenhouse gas emitted. A processor of a computer system provides notice of the required payment to an operator of the vehicle; an owner of the vehicle, a collecting party authorized to collect the required payment, a responsible party responsible for submitting the required payment to the collecting party, or combinations thereof.
