Abstract Much effort has been put to evaluate the potential of Intelligent Transportation Systems based on Car2X communication with respect to traffic safety. However, harnessing Car2X communication for efficiency purposes also offers potentials in terms of reducing fuel consumption and CO2. In this paper we evaluate these potentials by simulating three different traffic situations. We compare an uncontrolled scenario with one that incorporates a control mechanism that uses the possibility of Car2X communication to influence a single car directly. Our results show a significant potential for a reduction of fuel consumption for some of the traffic scenarios, motivating further research into Car2X communication based traffic control systems.
