Abstract
The welfare of the environment depends on the sustainable management of planet's natural resources. Therefore, the increase and high consumption of non-renewable resources by vehicles is shocking. Which leads to the search for solutions based on vehicular energy efficiency, through the application of intelligent transport systems (ITS) that in turn provide reduce greenhouse gases (GHG). Considering that Valle del Cauca is in 4th place in the ranking of the departments with the most emissions, that more than 90% are due to the energy use of fossil fuels, this proposal presents an opportunity for mitigation actions to achieve GHG reductions, contribute to achieving vehicle transport development objectives, as well as generating economic, social and environmental co-benefits. The research problem addressed in this thesis allows us to obtain a reduction in fuel consumption can be optimized in the city of Cali, through the implementation of a Green Wave ITS application. This decrease can be verified and validated thanks to the quantification a key performance indicator such as: fuel consumption, CO 2 emission, number of stops and average speed of the route, considering the type of fuel used by the vehicle. In addition, the thesis proposes a validation that verifies the CO 2 emission factors in the Colombian energy basket.
