GatcomSUMO
Automates the building of VANET simulations using SUMO and OMNeT++
GatcomSUMO is a multi-platform application that facilitates the building of VANET simulations using the SUMO traffic simulator and the OMNeT++ network simulator. The tasks related to the generation of abstract or synthetic scenarios, the download and conversion of network scenarios based on real maps (e.g. from OpenStreetMap), the route creation process, and the vehicles mobility modelling are integrated in a user-friendly graphical interface. This tool performs the necessary actions by invoking the set of utilities included in SUMO, saving the user from typing complex command-line orders.
GatcomSUMO visualizes the network and routes easily, and they are created in such a way to meet the requirements of the involved simulators, in particular OMNeT++, in order to avoid misunderstandings and runtime errors. The application allows the conversion of the spatial coordinates used by SUMO into those used by OMNeT++, which is essential to place fixed elements like RSUs.
