Method and system for offering carbon offset rewards corresponding to users. For example, the method includes detecting actions attributable to a user, determining a level of mindful driving and additional characteristics of the user based upon the attributable actions, determining the user's quality based upon the level of mindful driving and additional characteristics, determining a level of carbon offset reward based upon the user's quality, and offering an amount of carbon offset reward to the user based upon the level of carbon offset reward, where the amount of carbon offset reward includes a first amount for planting a first set of trees at a first time and a second amount for planting a second set of trees at a second time with the first time preceding the second time by a time duration that is shorter than or equal to the lifespan of each of the first set of trees.

Method and system for providing renewing carbon offsets for a driving period of a user. For example, the method includes collecting driving data for vehicle trips made by the user, analyzing the driving data to determine a level of mindful driving, determining a level of carbon offset reward based upon the level of mindful driving, determining the driving period of the user, determining an amount of total carbon emission of the user for the driving period, and providing an amount of carbon offset reward based upon the level of carbon offset reward and the amount of total carbon emission, where the amount of carbon offset reward includes a first amount for planting a first set of trees at a first time and a second amount for planting a second set of trees at a second time with the second time following the first time by one or more years.

Method and system for generating a personalized landing page for a user are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving, by a computing device, one or more user data associated with the user, the one or more user data including one or more telematics data of the user, determining, by the computing device, one or more user interface features based at least in part upon the one or more user data, and generating, by the computing device, a personalized landing page customized for the user using the one or more user interface features to increase an effectiveness of the personalized landing page.

Method and system for validating planting of trees. For example, the method includes receiving a first image depicting a tree, receiving a second image depicting an environment where the tree is to be planted, receiving a third image depicting the tree having been planted in the environment, selecting and encoding a first patch of the first image that depicts the tree, selecting and encoding a second patch of the second image that depicts the environment, selecting and encoding a third patch of the third image that depicts both the tree and the environment, and comparing the encoded patches to determine whether the tree has been planted in the environment.

Method and system for determining a historical amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle of a driver are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving, by the computing device, a vehicle information including a number of miles that the driver has driven the vehicle during a first time duration, collecting, by the computing device, telematics data for one or more trips made by the driver with the vehicle during a second time duration, and determining, by the computing device, the historical amount of carbon emissions produced by the vehicle during the first time duration based at least in part upon the number of miles during the first time duration and the telematics data during the second time duration.

Some embodiments provide a mapping application that has a novel way of displaying traffic congestion along roads in the map. The mapping application in some embodiments defines a traffic congestion representation to run parallel to its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at a particular zoom level, and defines a traffic congestion representation to be placed over its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at another zoom level. The mapping application in some embodiments differentiates the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies heavy traffic congestion from the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies moderate traffic congestion. In some of these embodiments, the mapping application does not generate a traffic congestion representation for areas along a road that are not congested.

Control of a spark ignited internal combustion in response to an exhaust manifold pressure measurement of an engine is disclosed. An engine out NOx amount for at least one cylinder is determined at least in part in response to the exhaust manifold pressure measurement and a brake mean effective pressure of the at least one cylinder. An operating condition of the engine is adjusted in response to the engine out NOx amount.

Allocation result accumulation unit accumulates allocation results of each business operator that requests allocation of flight airspace of drone. Allocation result accumulation unit accumulates, as the allocation results, an allocated airspace amount represented by the size of allocated flight airspace and the period in which flight in the flight airspace is permitted. When allocation requests are received from multiple business operators, flight airspace allocation unit allocates flight airspace by giving priority to a high priority business operator according to the allocation results accumulated in allocation result accumulation unit with respect to each business operator. Flight airspace allocation unit allocates the flight airspace by assigning a higher priority to a business operator for which the allocated airspace amount that has been accumulated is small.

Methods and systems are provided for monitoring a status of a heater core isolation valve (HCIV) housing in an engine coolant circuit including a first coolant loop and a second coolant loop. In one example, a method may include indicating degradation of the HCIV based on a difference between a first coolant loop temperature and a second coolant loop temperature upon activation of coolant system pumps and deactivation of a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater housed in the cabin heating loop.
