METHODS, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER MEDIA AND SIGNALS FOR REDUCING GHG BY IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS ON EXCESSIVE USAGES OF VEHICLES AND OTHER AIR, SEA, AND ENVIRONMENT POLLUTING MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENTS
First Claim
1. - A method of controlling through monitoring, and measuring, release or emission of substances to the environment by an operator (Operator) through process of operating a:
- mechanically, and/or electrically, and/or electro-mechanically, and/or chemically propelled transportation system (Machine), the method comprising;
Providing a control system aboard the Machine, and/or aboard the component or peripheral of the Machine;
Receiving and storing in the said control system a representation of operation of the Machine, said representation comprising a measured value of at least one substance emitted or released to the environment as a result of process of operation of the Machine operated by the Operator, and/or at least one value pertaining to fuel or any other source of energy used to propel the Machine, and/or at least one geographical coordinate of the Machine;
Receiving and storing in the said control system a representation of the Operator comprising;
specification of the Operator, at least one predetermined, and/or dynamically updated, allowed range related, and/or co-related to release or emission of substances by the Operator; and
Producing a control signal by the said control system for use by a control apparatus when at least one measured value of representation of the operation of the Machine is outside the allowed range of corresponding value of representation of the Operator, said control apparatus being operable to transmit a warning signal, and/or interrupt, and/or modify the operation of the Machine.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, media and signals for automatically and smartly monitoring, controlling, and restricting excessive usage of: mechanically, and/or electrically, and/or electro-mechanically, and/or chemically propelled: land, sea, and air/space transportation systems in order to reduce energy consumption and to reduce release of CO2 and other pollutant into the air, soil, and water and to enforce the Kyoto or other international, or nationally allocated pollution quota for operators of transportation means are disclosed. Generally each involves receiving and storing a representation of operation of a Machine, receiving and storing representation of an operator in a control system, and producing a control signal for use by a control apparatus, or a remote authority, if values represented in operation of a Machine are outside of corresponding allowed values of the representation of an operator.
