Abstract

The evaluation of services, applications, and protocols for intelligent transport systems (ITSs) is a complex task because such systems aggregate several technologies, where each technology has a set of limitations that need to be overcome. Also, the cost of evaluating such systems can be high because it involves allocating not only equipment but also the residents of a city. Assessments also need to consider the environmental conditions under which the system is evaluated. To reduce this cost and provide greater scalability in the evaluation of a new protocol, system or server, simulations are used that make it possible to examine conditions, come up with alternatives, and evaluate solutions while avoiding costly real experimental setups, mapping the complexity of the environment, and preventing interference with existing urban systems. This chapter describes the main simulation tools of an ITS for a smart city, as well as the concepts involved in such simulators.
