The objective of this study was to investigate the situation in which vehicles are connected to technology, allowing drivers to receive notifications as they approach potentially hazardous zones, with a particular emphasis on commercial vehicles. For this purpose, the simulation software features were described, and the methodology for obtaining simulation data was elucidated. The effect of vehicle-to-infrastructure communication on pollution and fuel consumption was examined, and suitable simulation software and tools were chosen for the investigation; The suitable plugins for establishing the scenario settings were selected; Software for facilitating communication between vehicles was developed; The proposed system for mitigating pollution and reducing fuel consumption was assessed. The simulation was conducted using commercial vehicles manufactured by Iran Khodro Diesel Company. In creating a realistic simulation, the process involved designing and defining a scenario that realistically explored the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, fuel consumption, and the integration of transportation infrastructure connected to vehicles. The scenario conditions for the Iranian market take into account factors such as road conditions and the specific characteristics of commercial vehicles. The results of the simulation suggested that, as the vehicle approaches the warning range, there was a potential reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of up to 4%. In addition, fuel consumption was reduced by 5% if it is connected to the infrastructure in just 30% of commercial vehicles. Consequently, it was shown that it is possible to achieve savings of up to 1045.36 million liters of fuel annually.
