A multiple intersection integrated wireless and vehicular network simulator

A real-time simulator for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication scenarios with a new integration method for the wireless network simulator NS-2 and the vehicular and traffic simulator (VATSIM) is introduced. Vehicular micro traffic networks with multiple intersections and vehicles using 802.11p communication are simulated and a collision warning system including a driver response model is investigated under a busy wireless communication channel.
