Simulation Of Vehicular Movement in VANET

Abstract

In the recent years research in the field of vehicular ad-hoc network(VANET) is done extensively. VANET consist of large number of dynamically nodes which are vehicles over a area. Different types of technology and applications are being developed for the VANET . So this VANET technology and applications should be thoroughly checked before deployment in the real world environment. But to test technologies and applications in real world environment is not feasible it involves lot of danger and safety issues, different reports of the testing can’t also be generated so to overcome these limitation we need to carry out simulation of VANET in the computer environment i.e. we should do a computer simulation. Computer simulation is risk and danger free, we can generate different scenario (rural, urban, collision of vehicles) of the VANET using this. So computer simulation is very important in VANET research. Simulation of VANET is divided into two part a. Traffic simulation: Generation of traffic movement, Defining the mobility model for vehicle and creating traffic movement. b. Network simulation: Generating Inter communicating vehicle , Defining communication protocols. And both the simulation are connected in bi-directional coupling.
