1. A system, comprising:
- one or more hardware processors; and
a memory storing instructions to configure the one or more hardware processors, wherein the one or more hardware processors are configured by the instructions to;
identify a driver of a vehicle;
determine one or more vehicle condition parameters of the vehicle, wherein the one or more vehicle condition parameters include at least one of;
total mileage, tire condition, fuel quality, emission level, brake system condition, clutch system condition, engine system condition, gear system condition, and exhaust system condition;
determine one or more driving condition parameters, wherein the one or more driving condition parameters include at least one of;
one or more terrain parameters, one or more weather parameters, and one or more traffic parameters;
determine one or more driving pattern parameters based at least on the driver'"'"'s driving pattern, wherein the one or more driving pattern parameters include at least one of;
accelerator operation, break operation, gear operation, clutch operation, engine idling, frequency of start-stop, air drag, window control, HVAC usage, tire pressure, vehicle loading, and driving mode selection;
calculate an EcoIndex measuring the real-time environmental impact of the vehicle'"'"'s operation based on the one or more vehicle condition parameters, the one or more driving condition parameters, and the one or more driving pattern parameters; and
provide analytical information for controlling vehicle greenhouse gas emissions.
