| Abstract | This study utilizes GPS probe data to access CO2 emissions from LPG-fueled taxis in Bangkok, Thailand. With the transportation sector being a significant contributor to CO2 emissions, particularly in urban areas like Bangkok, the research focuses on LPG-fueled taxis. The study leverages GPS probe data, offering a more detailed emissions analysis compared to traditional fuel consumption-based methods. The methodology involves collecting, processing, and cleaning GPS probe data from Bangkok's LPG-fueled taxis and employs emission factors provided by the Pollution Control Department to estimate CO2 emissions for each taxi trip details, considering variables such as distance traveled, speed, and time. The research presents these emission data through a CO2 emission monitoring dashboard, providing insights into emissions distribution across different spatial and temporal patterns. The study aims to gain comprehensive insights into taxi mobility and associated CO2 emissions in Bangkok, identifying peak emission locations and times while enhancing decision-making processes through data visualization. Ultimately, this research contributes to an understanding of urban transportation emissions, emphasizing the importance of leveraging modern technology and big data in urban environmental management. |
