Poster: A simulation-based testbed for vehicular collision detection

Abstract

This paper presents a simulation-based testbed for the study of collision detection in vehicular networks. We combine the Omnet++ discrete-event simulator with the SUMO mobility simulator and the SimuLTE framework, in order to study an intersection scenario where the road-side unit also integrates a collision detector. Through this set of tools, we are able to simulate the exchange of cooperative awareness messages (CAMs) and collision alerts, and evaluate the timeliness with which the latter are received.
