1. CO2 EMISSION RATING BY VEHICLES USING DATA SCIENCE
ABSTRACT
The usage of private transportation is a significant contributor to the exacerbation of
global warming. When a gallon of gasoline is burned in a car’s engine, it produces
approximately 24 pounds of greenhouse gases, which contribute to about 20% of total
emissions. Most of these emissions, over 19 pounds, are released directly from the car’s tailpipe
as heat-trapping pollutants. However, the number of emissions produced during the fuel’s
extraction, manufacture, and delivery processes is relatively small in comparison. On average,
gasoline-powered vehicles that are commonly used on roads around the world have a fuel
efficiency of 22 miles per gallon and travel 11,500 miles per year. For every gallon of fuel
used, these vehicles produce about 8,887 grams of carbon dioxide. In 1998, the auto industry
made a voluntary pledge to cut emissions from new cars by 25 percent by 2008. At that time,
new cars’ CO 2 emissions on the road were roughly 203 gram per kilometer. They are currently
hovering at 170 gram per kilometer and won’t likely drop to 140g/km until around 2020. The
amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a vehicle can vary depending on factors such as the type
of gasoline used, the vehicle’s fuel efficiency, and the distance it travels in a year. The projected
accuracy decreases as the number of controlled and uncontrolled effect variables that affect the
properties of CO 2 increases. Nevertheless, by taking into account the controllable effect
factors and their interactions, a few experimental designs have been proposed. The Road and
Transport Authority will seize that specific car if the model we developed to anticipate gas
emission from cars exceeds the threshold. The model uses the properties of the car to specify
if the car has exceeded the threshold value of CO 2 . One excellent method for forecasting the
CO 2 emission rating is supervised machine learning.
Existing System
 Creating a CO2 emission rating system for vehicles using data science involves
leveraging data to quantify and categorize the environmental impact of different
vehicles based on their emissions. Here is a high-level overview of the steps involved
in building such a system:
 Emission Data: Collect data on CO2 emissions for various vehicle models. This data
can be obtained from sources such as environmental agencies, manufacturers, or
independent testing organizations.

2.  Vehicle Characteristics: Gather information on the characteristics of vehicles, including
engine size, fuel type, weight, and aerodynamics. This data helps in understanding the
factors influencing emissions.
 Driving Conditions: Consider data related to typical driving conditions, as emissions
can vary based on factors like city driving versus highway driving.
 Train the Model: Split the data into training and testing sets, then train the model using
the training data.
 Cross-Validation: Implement cross-validation techniques to ensure the model's
generalization to different subsets of the data.
Disadvantages
 The accuracy and reliability of CO2 emission ratings depend on the quality of the input
data
 CO2 emissions can vary significantly based on real-world driving conditions, such as
traffic patterns, road types, and weather.
Proposed System
 Data Quality and Accuracy: The accuracy of CO2 emission ratings heavily depends on
the quality of the data used. Inaccuracies in the input data, such as incorrect vehicle
specifications or outdated emission test results, can lead to unreliable ratings.
 Limited Real-world Variability: Laboratory emission tests may not fully capture real-
world driving conditions. As a result, the CO2 emission ratings generated using data
science models based on laboratory tests may not accurately reflect a vehicle's actual
emissions in diverse driving scenarios.
 Modeling Complexity: enveloping accurate models for predicting CO2 emissions is a
complex task. The relationships between various factors influencing emissions, such as
engine efficiency, driving patterns, and environmental conditions, are intricate and may
not be fully captured by models.
 Lack of Standardization: the absence of standardized testing procedures and metrics
across different regions or countries can lead to discrepancies in CO2 emission ratings.
Variability in testing methods and standards may hinder the comparability of ratings
across different datasets.
 Evolution of Vehicle Technologies: the automotive industry is dynamic, with
continuous advancements in vehicle technologies. Data science models based on

3. historical data may not accurately predict emissions for newer vehicles with innovative
technologies, leading to a lag in reflecting the current state of the market.
 Behavioral Factors: CO2 emissions are influenced by driver behavior, such as driving
style and maintenance practices. Data science models may not fully account for these
behavioral factors, making it challenging to predict real-world emissions accurately.
 Policy and Regulation Changes: Changes in emission testing procedures, government
regulations, and environmental policies can impact the accuracy of CO2 emission
ratings. Data science models may need frequent updates to align with evolving
standards.
 Limited Accessibility of Data: Access to accurate and comprehensive data on vehicle
emissions may be limited. Some manufacturers may not disclose detailed emission
data, especially for older vehicle models, which can result in incomplete datasets and
biased ratings.
 Data Privacy Concerns: Gathering and analyzing vehicle data may raise privacy
concerns, particularly if individual vehicle usage patterns are tracked. Striking a balance
between collecting relevant data for emission rating purposes and protecting user
privacy can be challenging.
