Smart transport systems have been adopting several IoT devices to collect and transmit traffic data, including vehicle counts, traffic density, and road conditions, and to monitor traffic. Nevertheless, the reliability of data transmission is a serious problem, and it becomes especially important to minimize signal degradation and reduce bit errors when transmitting data over long distances. Therefore, it is vital to examine the performance of an IoT-based intelligent transport system connected via fiber optics to ensure successful implementation. To do so, a mathematical modeling technique was applied to simulate the behavior of a fiber-optic link. Specifically, this study proposes developing a numerical simulation model to assess the performance of the intelligent transport system under varying distances and data transfer rates. Fiber lengths ranging from 10 to 80 kilometers and data transfer rates from 1 to 10 Gbps were considered. Performance criteria, such as received optical power, quality factor, bit error rate, pulse amplitude, and signal quality, were analyzed
