METHODS, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER MEDIA AND SIGNALS FOR REDUCING GREEN HOUSE GASES BY IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON EXCESSIVE USAGE OF VEHICLES AND OTHER AIR, SEA AND ENVIRONMENT POLLUTING MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENTS

摘要

Methods, apparatus, media and signals for automatically and smartlymonitoring,controlling, and restricting excessive usage of: mechanically, and/orelectrically, and/orelectro-mechanically, and/or chemically propelled: land, sea, and air/spacetransportationsystems in order to reduce energy consumption and to reduce release of CO2 andotherpollutant into the air, soil, and water and to enforce the Kyoto or otherinternational, ornationally allocated pollution quota for operators of transportation means aredisclosed.Generally each involves receiving and storing a representation of operation ofa Machine,receiving and storing representation of an operator in a control unit, andproducing acontrol signal for use by a control apparatus, or a remote authority, ifvalues represented inoperation of a Machine are outside of corresponding allowed values of therepresentationof an operator.
