“…Collins et al [6] looked at considering the fuel cost per second used on each route; however with no data on the road conditions, the fuel cost is simply a function of speed and acceleration. Several other papers looked at ways in which VANETs could be used to support algorithms which reduce emissions [7][8][9]. Most of the research in these papers concentrated on communication with traffic lights.…”

“…Most of the research in these papers concentrated on communication with traffic lights. Optimizing light timing [8], [9] smoothes traffic flow which in turn reduces idle time. Knowledge of when traffic lights will change allows for smoother deceleration/acceleration of vehicles [7], and for turning off the engine of vehicles when waiting for the traffic light to turn green [9], helping reduce fuel consumption.…”

Abstract-The lack of significant breakthroughs in terms of alternative energy sources has caused both fuel consumption and gas emissions to constantly increase. In this context, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions in the transportation sector is vital, as vehicles are one of the important contributors to air pollution. This paper introduces EcoTrec, a novel eco-friendly routing algorithm for vehicular traffic which considers road characteristics such as surface conditions and gradients, as well as existing traffic conditions to improve the fuel savings of vehicles and reduce gas emissions. EcoTrec makes use of the Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANET) both for collecting data from distributed vehicles and to disseminate information in aid of the routing algorithm. The algorithm calculates the fuel efficiency of various routes and then directs the vehicle to a fuel efficient route, while also avoiding flash crowding. Simulationbased tests showed that by using EcoTrec, fuel emissions were significantly reduced, when compared with existing state-of-theart vehicular routing algorithms.

Abstract-Environmental problems, such as pollutions, become more intensive every year. One of the major causes is a higher fuel consumption and CO 2 emission. In year 2009, 23 percent of CO 2 emission globally comes from land transportation systems, which is equal to 7,000 million tons of CO 2 . This large amount of pollution gas must be reduced to slow down global environmental problems. Reduction of fuel consumption and CO 2 emission in land transportation systems, which will have immediate positive economical and environmental impacts, has become an important part of green technology to alleviate global warming due to human activities. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which aims at applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the transportation systems, has offered unique opportunities for the green ITS. This article aims to provide a survey of the latest published applications as well as the envisaged technical challenges in this research area.Index Terms-Green technology, traffic light-to-vehicle communication, TLVC, fuel consumption, CO 2 emission, intelligent transportation system, Green ITS, vehicular communications I. INTRODUCTION VIRONMENTAL problems become a serious concern for the mankind. Huge amount of pollution is released every year due to the growth of world economics, resulting in the global warming problem. There are several attempts to alleviate the global warming, such as uses of alternative natural energy; solar, wind, and water energy. However, the investment of natural energy production is very high and gives low return rate for industries. As a result, this approach is not yet achieved.According to statistics, more than 30,000 million tons of CO 2 is emitted each year [1]. As shown in Fig. 1a, North America is the number one continent of fuel consumption and C.
