The Use of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems for Vehicle Emission Charging

Emission charging is a new phenomenon in transportation research. Whilst fuel taxation and road tolling are common ways of income raising in many countries, these initiatives are primarily aimed at road infrastructure financing. Worldwide, there has been growing interest in pricing structures designed to manage the growing levels of traffic congestion and, in recent times, an increasing focus on generating reductions in carbon emissions from vehicle ownership and usage. In this research model for vehicle emission charging using cooperative intelligent transport systems (ITS) has been made. With the use of proposed model, traffic management would be more accurate and efficient using the data provided by the Traffic Cooperative Center for Emission Charging. At the end, significant reduction of environmental pollution produced from road traffic would be achieved.
