The mobile Ad-Hoc networks, specifically VANETs (Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks), are studied since the last 10 years. The present work highlights comparisons between the routing protocols: AODV, DSDV and CBRP, on scenarios that describe the urban and road vehicular traffic, using real maps of the city of Loja (Ecuador). Likewise, mobility models from the CityMob for Roadmaps (C4R) traffic simulator...

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (vanet) are a special kind of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (manet) adapted to the communications between vehicles. Several specific protocols to vanets have been developed to improve performances and satisfy vehicular application needs. To evaluate a protocol for vanet, some realistic mobility models are needed. Unfortunately, such models are not provided by Opnet Modeler. I...

This chapter introduces an integrated network and traffic simulation platform, called NCTUns. This platform provides the capabilities of road network simulation, communication and network protocol simulation, vehicular traffic simulation, and a feedback loop among them. As such, it is very suitable for advanced wireless vehicular ad hoc network research where a vehicle needs to change its movin...

Zusammenfassung Selbstorganisierende Ad-hoc-Netze gelten als Schlüsseltechnologie für zukünftige telematikgestützte Dienste im Fahrzeug. Die Bereitstellung von Internet-Diensten im Fahrzeug erfordert die Integration dieser Netze in das Internet, für die es keine gängigen Protokolle im Internet gibt. In diesem Beitrag wird mit MOCCA ein neuartiger Ansatz für die Internet-Integration von Fahrzeug...
