I am running NetSim VANET simulations. I am able to interface it with SUMO, run it on grid and on a map, set different mobility models and stuff. However, I am not sure how to set up road side units. Can someone please help? Thanks
Road Side units can be added to NetSim VANETs (v10.2) with some customization
1. Download the attached VANET_Update.zip folder and extract to obtain a VANET_Update folder which contains NetSim_Simulation_Update and Settings folders.
2. Based on whether you have NetSim 32-bit build/64 bit Build, copy NetSimSimulation.exe from 32bit or 64 bit folders present inside the NetSim_Simulation_Update Directory and place it in the /bin folder
3. The Settings folder contains, Configuration.xsd and Property.xml files which are suitably modified.
4. Place the Configuraition.xsd in the /bin folder after renaming the original Configuration.xsd file already present as a backup.
5. Place the Property.xml file in the /Docs/xml folder of NetSim after renaming the original Property.xmlfile already present as a backup.
6. Follow the steps as explained in the article https://tetcos.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/14000082226-how-to-perform-vanet-simulations-in-netsim-over-map-view- to create a map based VANET network scenario in NetSim and associate it with the SUMO Configuration file.
7. In VANETs, vehicles and roadside units (RTUs) are the communicating nodes, providing each other with information, such as safety warnings and traffic information. Both types of nodes are dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) devices. To have road side units in NetSim you can add additional wireless nodes in which you can set the MAC and PHY protocol as DSRC (IEEE1609). See https://tetcos.com/vanets.html for more information on technology availability
8. You can then set the mobility model to default (RANDOM_WAY_POINT) and set velocity to 0.
9. Upon doing this, the mobility of vehicles alone will be modeled using SUMO whereas the RTUs will only be part of NetSim's network. The communication between vehicles, vehicles and RTUs etc will be handled by NetSim.
Roadside units (RSUs) are available as drag and drop elements from NetSim v12 onwards (See: https://tetcos.com/new-releases.html)
