CO2GO - carbon footprint in real-time
Loading...
Uploaded by senseablecitylab on Jan 5, 2011
Today, more than a third of global CO2 emissions are generated by transportation. CO2GO, a new type of smartphone application, is an effective tool that assists in making smarter individual transportation choices to collectively reduce carbon emissions in cities.
Making sophisticated use of the sensors contained in a standard smartphone (accelerometer, GPS, ...) carried in your pocket, CO2GO deploys an unprecedented algorithm to calculate in real-time the carbon emissions while on the move. It does so by automatically detecting your mode of transportation (walking, biking, train, car, bus, subway,...) while tracking the distance covered.
Users can share their low carbon emission routes with the user community, enabling others to consult alternatives to their usual travel routes or even challenge fellow users in a real-world game situations. The application enables users can compare their travel emissions with the total and average emissions generated by the CO2GO user community as well as the whole city. And finally, the app informs users about calories burned during their individual way of traveling, offering an insight into health issues while on the move.
