Design and Simulation of VANETs Testbed Using OpenStreetMap, SUMO, and NS-2

Automobiles traffic has increased exponentially around the world, posing serious threats to road users almost everywhere. To mitigate these threats, and make life on the road more viable, Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) technology is emerging as one of the ultimate solutions. However, it was observed that most VANETs work with relativity of the mobile user's movement instead of vehicles movement as required by VANET simulation. Moreover, it...
