Features

• Based on 100% open source software offering unrestricted extensibility
• Allows for online re-configuration and re-routing of vehicles in reaction to network packets
• Relies on trusted vehicular mobility model and implementation of human-driven and/or autonomous cars, done by the Transportation and Traffic Science community
• Relies on fully-detailed models of IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.4 DSRC/WAVE network layers, including multi-channel operation, QoS channel access, noise and interference effects
• Can include third-party models directly or via the INET Framework, e.g., models for ETSI ITS-G5, 4G/5G cellular networking like 3gpp LTE and C-V2X, as well as Visible Light Communication (VLC); models can also be included via MATLAB/Simulink
• Can simulate city block level simulations in real time on a single workstation
• Can be deployed on compute clusters for simulation in MRIP distributed parallel fashion
• Can import whole scenarios from OpenStreetMap, including buildings, speed limits, lane counts, traffic lights, access and turn restrictions
• Can employ validated, computationally inexpensive models of shadowing effects caused by buildings as well as by vehicles
• Supplies data sources for a wide range of metrics, including travel time and emissions
• Supported by solid and diverse user base from five continents
