  • TraNS - Traffic and Network Simulation environment for design, implementation and realistic evaluation of VANET applications by Michal Piorkowski, Maxim Raya, Ada Lezama Lugo and Jean-Pierre Hubaux from Laboratory for Computer Communications and Applications (LCA), EPFL, Switzerland TraNS is the first open-source project providing a full-blown application-centric evaluation framework for VANETs. It has a unique set of features necessary to build VANET applications and evaluate them in realistic conditions. It comes with a set of ready to use examples. publications: Piorkowski, Raya, Lugo, Papadimitratos, Grossglauser, Hubaux 2007
  • Veins - "Vehicles in Network Simulation" by Christoph Sommer from the Department of Computer Science, University of Erlangen, Germany publications: Sommer, Yao, German, Dressler, 2008, Sommer, Yao, German, Dressler, 2008 (2)
  • "Assessment of traffic regulation policies for the minimization of pollutants emissions" by Mauro Bianchi at CEFRIEL, Italy. This project uses SUMO in combination with EMEP/CORINAIR methodology for evaluating the impact of different traffic regulation strategies on pollutants emissions. Traffic simulations are performed offline for identifying some optimal regulation policies for different local traffic conditions, using a simple evolutionary algorithm. We hypothesize an online regulation system with a network of sensors that is used to recognize the current traffic situations and deploy the optimal traffic regulation policies.
  • Fidens – Trust between Cooperative Systems in Application to VANETs This project investigates trust in vehicular networks (VANETs). Besides the trust research, it features a simulation environment for large scale vehicular network applications. Our typical scenario involves about 13000 vehicles per day over 26 weeks. We build on top of SUMO and the network simulator Shawn. Shawn aims on investigating an algorithm in a network while the underlying layers are kept well controlled. To do so, it simulates the effects of the underlying layers, not their protocols in detail. This makes it especially fast and suitable for application developers.
  • PedSUMO: PedSUMO is an enhancement to SUMO that explores the dynamic interaction between automated vehicles and pedestrians at unprioritized crossings, focusing on pedestrian behavior in response to vehicle-priority communication methods. This open-source project offers detailed algorithms, parameter insights, and an initial data analysis of Ingolstadt, Germany, paving the way for understanding the complex impact of automated vehicles in urban environments.
