V2X simulations in SUMO#
SUMO is usually coupled to a communication network simulator using a middleware.
Coupling to network simulators#
Coupling Middlewares Overview
| Name | Used Network Simulator | Under Development |
|---|---|---|
| Veins | Focused on OMNeT++/MiXiM with an extendable, modular framework (ports exist for INET, INETMANET, and JiST/SWANS) | yes |
| iCS | ns3 | yes |
| MOSAIC | ns3, JiST/SWANS or OMNeT++ (extendable) | yes |
Veins#
See the Veins Homepage for a short overview, download links, beginner's tutorial, full publication list, and documentation.
iCS#
iCS is the "iTETRIS Control System", a middleware developed in the iTETRIS project to join SUMO, ns-3, and V2X application simulators. It is currently used and extended within the TransAID project.
Eclipse MOSAIC#
Eclipse MOSAIC (formerly known as the V2X Simulation Runtime Infrastructure, VSimRTI) is a framework which enables the preparation and execution of V2X simulations. The easy integration and exchange of simulators enables the substitution of the most relevant simulators for a realistic presentation of vehicle traffic, emissions, wireless communication, and the execution of V2X applications. For immediate use, a set of simulators is already coupled with MOSAIC. For example, the traffic simulators VISSIM and SUMO, the communication simulators ns3, JiST/SWANS and OMNeT++, the application simulator VSimRTI_App, and several visualization and analysis tools are prepared for MOSAIC.
