SIMULATION OF REDUCING POLLUTANTS AND FUEL CONSUMPTION SCENARIO THROUGH THE COMMUNICATION OF IKD COMMERCIAL TRUCKS

This article examines how vehicles are connected to technology so drivers can be notified when they approach hazardous areas, mainly commercial trucks. First, the simulation software features will be described, and how the data for the simulation are obtained will be explained. This simulation has been performed based on Iran Khodro Diesel Company s commercial trucks. A realistic simulation involves designing and defining a realistic scenario that examines reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and fuel consumption, and how transportation infrastructure can be connected to vehicles. Road conditions and commercial truck characteristics are considered when determining the scenario conditions for the Iranian market. Simulation results indicate that, as the vehicle approaches the warning range, carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by up to 4%. In addition, fuel consumption will be reduced by 5% if it is connected to the infrastructure in only 30% of commercial trucks. As a result, saving up to 1045.36 million liters of fuel each year is possible. The presence or absence of vehicle connections will be determined using SUMO , Eclipse Mosaic, and MATLAB software.
