    Abstract: A host vehicle for use with a remote processing station (RPS) configured to generate a pollution report from a global set of pollution data includes a vehicle body, a vehicle telematics unit (VTU), a sensor suite, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The sensor suite includes acoustic and/or an air quality sensors respectively configured for collecting pollution data samples. The pollution data samples include ambient noise and/or air quality levels as part of the global set of pollution data. The ECU selectively transmits the pollution data sample(s) to the RPS in response to predetermined conditions, via the, receives the pollution report descriptive of noise and/or air quality levels at a current location or destination of the host vehicle, and executes a control action of the host vehicle or another receiving device in response to the pollution report.

    Abstract: A system for operating a personal energy consumption account for a user includes a mobile application adapted to interface with the user and provide access to the personal energy consumption account. A controller is in communication with the mobile application. The controller is configured to obtain respective activity data of the user in a plurality of domains. The controller is configured to calculate respective carbon dioxide emissions for the plurality of domains. The plurality of domains is grouped into one or more energy clusters each defining a respective range of carbon dioxide emissions. The controller is configured to determine a respective score for the one or more energy clusters based in part on the respective carbon dioxide emissions, a respective average population consumption value and a respective energy budget. The controller is configured to generate recommendations for the user to improve the respective score.

    Abstract: A system and method obtain a cruise speed for a vehicle. The method includes computing an optimal speed for the vehicle in consideration of traffic flow, the computing the optimal speed being based on the cruise speed and additional information. The method also includes determining a personalized speed for the vehicle based on a model corresponding with a current user of the vehicle, and suggesting the personalized speed to the current user for a response. A new cruise speed for the vehicle is set according to the response of the current user. The vehicle is controlled to travel at the new cruise speed.

    Abstract: A method of reducing traffic congestion for a road network. The method includes predicting future traffic congestion levels for the road network based on historical traffic congestion levels for the road network. An individual contribution to the future traffic congestion levels for each of a plurality of drivers is predicted based on future routes corresponding to each of the plurality of drivers with the future routes including at least one road segment through the road network. At least one congested road segment is identified based on the future traffic congestion levels for the road network and the plurality of drivers with a highest individual contribution to the at least one congested road segment are identified. The plurality of drivers with the highest individual contributions to the at least one congested road segment are provided a first offer to avoid operating a vehicle on the road network.

    Abstract: A system for a vehicle-to-vehicle charging service for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) includes a real-time server (RTS). The RTS wirelessly communicates with communication devices associated with individual PEVs having membership in the charging service and provides to the communication devices real-time positions of individual PEVs on a map of a terrain. The system also includes a first communication device for a first PEV configured to wirelessly transmit, via the RTS, to communication devices associated with the remaining PEVs, a request for an amount of electrical energy to charge the first PEV. The system additionally includes a second communication device associated with a second PEV and configured to wirelessly transmit, via the RTS, to the first communication device an offer to dispense the requested amount of electrical energy. The first communication device is further configured to wirelessly transmit, via the RTS, to the second communication device acceptance of the offer.
