Abstract
There is great demand for VANETs in recent times. VANETs enable vehicular communication with the advent of latest trends in communication like 5G technology, software-defined networks, and fog and edge computing. Novel applications are evolving in recent times on VANETs with the proliferation of internet of things. Real test bed implementation is not always feasible with various limitations like expenditure and manpower and requires more time to experiment with the new facets of VANETs. Hence, the researchers should be aware of the variety of simulation tools that are capable of running VANET simulations. Simulation is a powerful tool in developing any critical/complex system that constitutes minimum cost and effort. The simulation tools of VANETs should support multiple mobility models, real-world communication protocols, and traffic modeling scenarios. This chapter gives a clear view on available tools and their characteristics on VANETs for research purposes.
