Design and Implementation of Vehicular Network Simulator for Data Forwarding Scheme Evaluation

Simulation is a common method used to examine the models and protocols before they are implemented in real systems. Vehicular networks present different characteristics which render most of their simulations inapplicable to real-world Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks. In these days, the important advancement has been made toward the realistic simulators. OMNeT++, SUMO, and Veins provide a decent way for vehicular network researchers. This paper introduces the design and implementation of data forwarding schemes in vehicular networks. We discuss the implementation of two data forwarding schemes, such as Vehicle-Assisted Data Delivery and Trajectory-Based Data Forwarding. Both are the forwarding schemes that rely on Expected Delivery Delay implementation of data forwarding schemes in vehicular networks.
