Reducing Carbon Dioxide in Roads
1.013 Capstone Project (Spring 2019)
For my senior capstone, I worked with Professor Ulm and graduate student Jacob Roxen. Professor Ulm described the significance between road maintenance and carbon dioxide emissions. When posed with the inquiry of “how can we reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emissions?”, many think about carpooling or assigning every driver with the most fuel-efficient car. However, this requires every single driver to change. Instead, consider changing the roads which drivers travel on. Fixing a single road will affect thousands of cars daily.
With the Carbin app developed by CSHub, the MIT group which Professor Ulm and Jacob Roxen is a part of, I crowdsourced the information gathering app throughout MIT and to interested climate-driven groups.
