Reducing Climate Change for Future Transportation: Roles of Computing

Abstract

For years, the fuels based vehicle has played a key role in the history of mankind. Such a type of vehicles has played it part not just as main transportation but also in many types of purposed as required of them. Currently, fossil fuels are the main sources of energy for the transportation mode around the world. Burning of fossil fuels will release heavy and vast amount of carbon agents into the environment which detrimental effect to the nature, surrounding and the population of earth be it humans, plants or mammals. For that a solution to reduce the gas emission from fossil fuels vehicle to prevent more ill-effect to the environment is required. New technology such as fully Electronic Vehicles (EVs) is considered as one of the best solutions to mitigate this problem. With the integration of Computing or Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can help to further improvise this future transportation and at the same time can reduce its negative impacts. This paper will review selected articles and papers published between 2001 and 2019 that contain information and terms that related climate change, global warming, environment, future transportation and computing technology. These articles were further inspected and the decision for its inclusion and exclusion were mediated to develop a comprehensive review on global warming issues that are related to transportation and how ICT can assist in mitigating them.
