A review of simulators used for VANETs: The case-study of vehicular mobility generators

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), has appeared to be the leading research area across the years due to its scope to increase road safety. This paper provides a detailed overview of the innovative work carried along with mobility models as well as tools of VANETs. Beginning with the manual creation of a network through the node, edge, as well as route till the allocation of a casual tour to the map that is being converted into a SUMO network. This work intends to review the tools plus models needed for the VANETs experimental work. As per the earlier researchers, VANET permits the vehicles to develop a wireless connection but forming the wireless connections and interacting with nodes in real-time situations is a challenging job. Therefore various simulation platforms are given for carrying out the communication part in VANETs, for instance, NS-2, NS-3, OMNET++, GloMoSiM, SNS, JiST/SWANS, and many more.
