An Analysis of Simulators for Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Proper selection of a simulator for VANETs is a serious task. Due consideration has to be given to the requirements for modeling the behaviour of networking protocols and mobility of vehicles. Both macro and micro aspects are important for evaluation of the traffic behaviour. Macro aspects are road conditions and infrastructure, while micro aspects constitute individual behaviour such as driving speed etc. Simulation software tools for VANETs differ in their features and capabilities. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of currently available networking and traffic simulators for VANETs including interaction between the two. In particular it compares their software features, availability of different options, graphical user interface, ease of use, accuracy, enhancement capability etc. Different VANET simulators which are combination of the two simulators are also compared. This paper will help potential researchers in the field of VANETs in the selection of simulation software tools.
