High $$\hbox {CO}_2$$ zone localization in city areas using hardware implementation of urban vehicular ad hoc network (UVANET) platform

Currently, increase of $\mathrm{CO}_2 emissions in the city areas is due to industrial pollution, burning of fuels, deforestation, and excessive vehicle movement. For environmental safety, regular monitoring of \mathrm{CO}_2 level is needed in the city areas. The main objective of this research is to localize the high \mathrm{CO}_2 zones in the city areas using UVANETs. Vehicles in the city areas are used as the resources to collect...
