1. Network model

Suppose that a piece of information is broadcast from left to right along the road.

The vehicles that have received the information are informed vehicles, represented by red dots, other vehicles are uninformed, represented by blue dots.

The large red circle indicates the radio range of the rightmost informed vehicle.

 

2. Animation

	1. The information propagation in a VANET with one traffic stream.
	If the above video does not play, download it here.
	2. The information propagation in a VANET with two traffic streams toward opposite directions.
	If the above video does not play, download it here.

 

3. Simulator

The VANET simulator is written in C++. The source code can be downloaded here.

The program is designed to be able to run in both Windows and Linux environments. If you have problem with compiling please contact me.

The output of the program will be a set of files in the folder named "output". The output contains the total density of vehicles and the information propagation speed (m/s).
