Abstract

Intelligent transportation systems are one of the components to make smart cities through which they have sought to improve levels of safety, comfort, and efficiency of transportation systems. Vehicular networks support the exchange of messages by vehicles with the information necessary for proper functioning of these systems. Because of complexity of these communication networks, a technique widely used to evaluate their performance is simulation. However, a simulation problem involves choosing appropriate parameters to achieve realistic results. This work deals with the problem of realistic simulation in vehicular networks, through the simulation of a message dissemination application, where various simulation and application parameters are varied. The main contribution consists in analysis of results obtained according to the chosen parameters and the finding that these parameters must be adjusted properly to obtain results consistent with reality.
