Abstract
Greenhouse gas emitted by the transport sector around the world is a serious issue of concern. 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). Intelligent transport system (ITS) technologies can be implemented to lower pollutant emissions and reduction of fuel consumption. 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. A case study also advocates that ITS technology reduces fuel consumption and exhaust pollutant in the urban environment.
Highlights
Nowadays the energy saving issue is becoming more popular in Intelligent transport system (ITS)
The important issues of green technologies are related to energy efficiency in automobile industry and promote environment friendly communication technologies and systems
Green ITS technologies play a significant role in reducing energy consumption in automobile and road transport system for a variety of applications
Summary
Nowadays the energy saving issue is becoming more popular in ITS. Recent increases in fuel prices have a great impact on global economic changes. The drivers are worried about their fuel consumption according to their monthly budget. Excessive use of petroleum increases the budget and emits more pollutants [1]. The world suffers heavily from environmental pollution [2, 3]. The reduction of fuel consumption can minimize the pollutant emission and preserve the environment clean and green [4]. Though significant research has been done by many researchers in the field of fuel and energy for alternative fuels, the vehicle industry made some attempts to improve vehicle modernization for fuel efficiency and economically viable environment friendly technology [5, 6]
