Divya Shree, Dinesh Singh . Performance Evaluation of Realistic Mobility Models using Road Side Units. International Journal of Computer Applications. 80, 15 ( October 2013), 29-32. DOI=10.5120/13939-1909
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) characterized by nodes with relatively high Mobility and various distributed environments represent a remarkable challenge dissimilar to MANETs. Applications of inter-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside wireless communication that make use of VANETs require reliable communication that provides a guarantee of real-time message propagation. In this thesis the performance of wireless VANET is evaluated by finding the impact of placement of Road Side Units on different Mobility Models by taking various parameters into consideration. For evaluation we use the network simulator NS-2 with a car traffic movement file of different scenarios generated by Mobility generator Vanet MobiSim, simulating the current WLAN hardware with the Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector routing protocol (AODV). The connectivity tests have shown that it is a realistic option to use ad hoc networks for vehicular communication. But our simulations also have drawn out that placement of Road Side Units according to the type of Mobility Model used will lead to better communication.
