A platform for realistic online vehicular network management

This paper introduces a platform for realistic and computationally efficient online vehicular networks simulation. It permits decentralized traffic management applications simulation as nodes mobility is modifiable at runtime thanks to the integration of two state-of-the-art network and traffic simulators. The platform embeds a tool that generates vehicular traces based on traffic counting data and ensures performance through a geographical decomposition of the network. Evidence of its performance is given on a Luxembougian traffic management scenario, using real road network and traffic data.
