Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for determining engine exhaust emissions for a job, comprising:
- storing utilization data for each of a plurality of engines used for a job;
determining by operation of a computer processor an amount of engine exhaust emissions for each engine based on the utilization data;
determining by operation of a computer processor an amount of engine exhaust emissions for the job based on the amount of engine exhaust emissions for each engine; and
storing the amount of engine exhaust emissions for the job.

Abstract
A computerized method and system for determining engine exhaust emissions for a job. Job utilization data is stored for each of a plurality of engines used for the job. An amount of engine exhaust emissions for each engine is determined based on the utilization data. An amount of engine exhaust emissions for the job is determined based on the amount of engine exhaust emissions for each engine. The amount of engine exhaust emissions for the job is stored and may, for example, be used for determining job cost, reporting, or controlling the job in real-time.

11. A method for determining cost of a job, comprising;
-
storing a plan for a job, the plan including equipment to be used for the job and operating parameters for the equipment; determining by operation of a computer processor an amount of engine exhaust emissions produced by the equipment when operated at the operating parameters of the plan; determining by operation of a computer processor an amount of engine exhaust emissions produced by job based on the amount of engine exhaust emissions produced by the of equipment when operated at the operating parameters of the plan; storing the amount of the engine exhaust emission produced by job; determining by operation of a computer processor a cost of the engine exhaust emissions based on the amount of engine exhaust emissions produced by job; and determining by operation of a computer processor a cost for the job including the cost of the engine exhaust emissions for the job. - View Dependent Claims (12)
