“…This paper conceptually differs from our work since it is proposing a general anticipatory routing solution for vehicles, while our paper focus on vehicular rerouting problem after road blocks occur. The concepts and ideas presented in the works of Krajzewicz [26], Behrisch et al [27] and Bieker et al [28] aided us immensely in our study. These papers extensively discuss microscopic vehicular traffic simulation concepts considering larger traffic regions with significant number of vehicles circulating.…”

“…The above scenario is a small-scale scenario based on the city of Bologna [23], and its traffic flow is obtained from the statistical data of local real traffic flow. The congestion of each vehicle is equivalent to the number of its data packets that need to be forwarded.…”

Abstract-We present a bio-inspired unicast routing protocol for vehicular Ad Hoc Networks which uses the cellular attractor selection mechanism to select next hops. The proposed unicast routing protocol based on attractor selecting (URAS) is an opportunistic routing protocol, which is able to change itself adaptively to the complex and dynamic environment by routing feedback packets. We further employ a multi-attribute decision-making strategy, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), to reduce the number of redundant candidates for next-hop selection, so as to enhance the performance of attractor selection mechanism. Once the routing path is found, URAS maintains the current path or finds another better path adaptively based on the performance of current path, that is, it can self-evolution until the best routing path is found. Our simulation study compares the proposed solution with the state-of-the-art schemes, and shows the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed routing protocol and the significant performance improvement, in terms of packet delivery, end-toend delay, and congestion, over the conventional method.Index Terms-Vehicular ad hoc networks, routing protocol, adaptive mechanism, biologically inspired networking, cellular attractor selection.

“…In 2014, during the SUMO User Conference, a realistic traffic scenario from the city of Bologna [8] was released to the community. The scenario, built in the iTETRIS [9] framework, gives a very good starting point for the community, but it presents some limitations.…”

Abstract-Different research communities varying from telecommunication to traffic engineering are working on problems related to vehicular traffic congestion, intelligent transportation systems, and mobility patterns using information collected from a variety of sensors. To test the solutions, the first step is to use a vehicular traffic simulator with an appropriate scenario in order to reproduce realistic mobility patterns. Many mobility simulators are available, and the choice is usually done based on the size and type of simulation required, but a common problem is to find a realistic traffic scenario. In order to evaluate and compare new communication protocols for vehicular networks, it is necessary to use a wireless network simulator in combination with a vehicular traffic simulator. This additional step introduces further requirements for the scenario. The aim of this work is to provide a scenario able to meet all the common requirements in terms of size, realism and duration, in order to have a common basis for the evaluations. In the interest of building a realistic scenario, we decided to start from a real city with a standard topology common in mid-size European cities, and real information concerning traffic demands and mobility patterns. In this paper we show the process used to build the Luxembourg SUMO Traffic (LuST) Scenario, and present a summary of its characteristics together with an overview of its possible use cases.
