Green technology is one of the most important considerations on developing ITS, foster environmental sustainability,
and the economics of energy efficiency. The important issues
of green technologies are related to energy efficiency in automobile industry and promote environment friendly communication technologies and systems. Green ITS technologies
play a significant role in reducing energy consumption
in automobile and road transport system for a variety of
applications. This paper provides a survey on the effects of
ITS related techniques on the reduction of fuel consumption
and exhaust pollutant. In ITS, most of the applications are
for highlighting traffic safety and infotainment. However,
this research work sorts out ITS technologies that deploy
for fuel saving and green environment. Finally, this research
proposed a green navigation technology that used the current
traffic flow data as well as historical traffic information. A
case study shows that if the driver uses the green navigation
system,itwillsavefuelandreducetheenvironmentpollution.
For short distance and single vehicle it shows a little impact,
but if it is considered for long distance and millions of vehicle
it will have significant contribution in terms of energy and
environment
