• Resumen

  • Designing representative vehicular network simulations is a particularly challenging task because since there are several new parameters whichresearchers must take care about. In this paper weevaluate VACaMobil, a mobility manager for the OMNeT++ simulator which guarantees a constant vehicle number throughout an entire network simulation.It can also be configured to create minor fluctuationsaround the average value, within user defined bounds,to get a realistic vehicle behavior. We examine VA-CaMobil's performance in a typical urban scenarioand we compare its behavior against current toolsprovided for the SUMO simulator. Results show thatVACaMobil is the only tool able to achieve and maintain the target average vehicle number in all scenarios.
