Abstract :
Today most countries, examine the problem of car pollution. They enacted
laws to prevent environmental polluting cars. They also try to find out
wither pollution standards are applied by car manufacturers or not. The
purpose of this study is to rank domestically produced car quality based
on manufacturing technology and exhaust emissions. Variables HC, CO,
O2, CO2, and λ are analyzed for 10 selected car types, and results are
presented with a box chart and finally, the considered cars are ranked
according to the scored values. In practice, regarding the results of
pollution variable, domestically produced cars can be ranked in terms of
pollution quality parameters. According to the numeric range determined
for each variable, a number is assigned to each car and finally, the average
score is calculated for each car. In terms of pollution, car ranking help
manufacturers focus more on certain cars to improve the quality of the car.
The police can also use the results of this research to prevent the movement
of cars that cause more pollution on polluted days.
