Vehicular Mobility Simulation For VANET
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) requires efficient and accurate simulation tools. As the mobility of vehicles and driver
behaviour can be affected by network messages, these tools must include a vehicle mobility model integrated with a quality network simulator. We
present the first implementation of a well known vehicle mobility model to NS-3.Vehicular ad-hoc networks are self organised networks built up
from moving vehicles, and are part of the broader class of Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET).One of the main challenges posed by VANET
simulation is the faithful characterization of vehicular mobility at both macroscopic and microscopic levels, leading to realistic non-uniform
distributions of cars and velocity, and unique connectivity dynamics. In this paper, we first present and describe VanetMobiSim, a freely available
generator of realistic vehicular movement traces for networks simulators.
