Plotting RSUs with GPS data in Veins

Question

I am trying to plot RSU based on GPS coordinates. Is there any easy way to do it? I have written a program where I convert GPS coordinates to cartesian but I get cartesian points on basis of reference GPS coordinates which doesn't get placed nicely in omnet.

Note that different parts of Veins use different coordinate systems. Your data source likely uses lon/lat coordinates, SUMO uses one kind of map projection (see the `projParameter` in your .net.xml) to transform this to cartesian, then Veins transforms these coordinates to its own system (see the `traci2omnet` method) when executing the simulation. The Veins FAQ has an entry on "Why are the coordinates returned by TraCI methods different from the ones I see in the GUI?" that goes into more detail — Christoph Sommer, May 16 '17 at 11:43
@ChristophSommer Thank you for the comment, I will look into it. — Sam1324, May 16 '17 at 15:55

Yes, you can use the Gatcomsumo tool. It includes a coordinates conversor from different coordinate systems. In your case, you need to convert from Geodetic or UTM to OMNeT++. The coordinates you get is written into the omnetpp.ini file.

So this is what I am doing now.

I cannot write the code but I can give a general Idea. We do have boundary GPS locations of the map. Now to change a GPS Latitude and longitude to (x,y) cartesian. Find the distance between latitude to latitude and longitude to longitude by this we get (x,y) co-ordinate and this can be used to plot RSU.
