I'm currently learning simulation of vehicular networks using OMNET++, I read about sumo and veins. I added them successfully, I want to simulate a pseudonym changing strategy based on the use of mix-zone at intersections for comparative study purposes. However, I need your help in getting started. I do not know how to start, what to model and how to use veins and sumo with omnet to model the vehicles (moving) and RSU (nor how to choose the mix-zones) in the map (I'm getting the map from openstreetmap). I would appreciate the help of those who have gone through the same experience while trying to simulate VANET. Regards.

You should start with the tictoc tutorial for OMNeT and the tutorial for Veins. Then have a deeper look at the scenario which is used there to figure out which modules from Veins are involved and how they are related. Also consider the documentation for help.

Edit: After you setup everything and had a look at the documentation, you can read Building my own veins scenario in order to understand how Veins works.

  • I'm at that phase, however I still cannot fully understand how to use it. – sosono Feb 11 '17 at 08:47
  • Mr. Julian I learned how to use sumo to create simulation files for an openstreet map. I created an omnet project and made it reference to veins . then I modified the veins example (I copied it to my new project) to use my map. Now I want to make the vehicle change its pseudonym every 1 min. I don't know how to do so yet, I'm still trying. your help will be appreciated – sosono Feb 11 '17 at 11:51
  • Changing a vehicle's pseudonym sounds like it belongs to application layer logic, hence you should implement the changing in the APP-Layer which in the Demo is the _Traci11pDemo_ and inherits from _BaseWaveAppLayer_. For actual changing have a look at the _TraCIScenarioManager_. – Julian Heinovski Feb 13 '17 at 18:07
  • Thanks for the hint, could you please give me a hint on how to use it. – sosono Apr 29 '17 at 07:11
