Abstract: According to various embodiments, an emissions calculation system calculates the emissions resulting from transporting a shipment that includes an individual or group of packages. In certain embodiments, the calculated emissions are based on estimated amounts of fuel used in the transportation process based on historical fuel usage and shipment data. In addition, various embodiments of the system generate and display (or otherwise make available) one or more reports of the calculated emissions information. For example, the reports may provide a total amount of carbon dioxide emitted for a particular shipment or group of shipments. In addition, the report may provide a breakdown of the amount of emissions resulting from various operational activities in the transportation process (e.g., resulting from pickup, delivery, and/or transportation between carrier facilities, and resulting from stationary operational activities, such as sorting or movement within each carrier facility).

Abstract translation: 根据各种实施例，排放计算系统计算由运送包括单个或一组包装的货物所产生的排放。 在某些实施例中，所计算的排放量是基于基于历史燃料使用和装运数据在运输过程中使用的燃料的估计量。 此外，系统的各种实施例生成并显示（或以其它方式可用）计算的排放信息的一个或多个报告。 例如，这些报告可以提供特定货物或一组货物排放的二氧化碳的总量。 此外，该报告还可以提供运输过程中各种业务活动产生的排放量的细目（例如，运输设施之间的接送，运送和/或运输以及固定业务活动产生的排放量，如排序 或每个运营商设施内的运动）。
