Abstract

Vehicular Cloud is a hybrid technology comprising of VANET, cloud computing and wireless communication. VCC facilitates convenient, on demand access to network, storage area, applications and services on pay as you use basis. VCC is formed by pooling the resources from moving vehicles. Due to the prohibitive cost of deploying and implementing such as system in a real world, most research work in VCC rely on simulations for evaluation purpose. The key concept for VCC simulations is a real world vehicular mobility model. In this paper we present a tool SIMITS2 that allows users to easily generate real world mobility models for VCC simulations. The simulation results are obtained when vehicles are moving according to a real world scenario.

Highlights

  • Vehicular Cloud is a hybrid technology comprising of VANET, cloud computing and wireless communication

  • VCC is a network of smart vehicles, where vehicles communicate with vehicles (V2V)

  • The ability to collect sensor information which is of local relevance is biggest advantage of vehicular cloud

Summary

NETWORK SIMULATORS

The basic function of a network simulator is to analyze the performance of network protocols under different network topologies and settings. There are many network simulators available, we are interested in network simulators that are suitable to use with the vehicular network simulations. Following is the list of vehicular network simulators with their important features. Network Simulator (Version 2), widely known as NS2, is an event driven simulation tool that has proved useful in studying the dynamic nature of communication networks [7]. NS-3 is a discrete-event network simulator for Internet systems, targeted primarily for research and educational use. NS-3 is free software, licensed under the GNU GPLV2 license, and is publicly available for research, development
