Packet-based simulation is a key tool for the research and development of Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs). Over the last decade, many models throughout the communication stack have been presented, which have increased the degree of realism that can be achieved with popular simulation frameworks. Nevertheless, the three-dimensional aspects of many real-world traffic situations barely find consideration. In this paper, we present a holistic approach to simulate large-scale three-dimensional VANET scenarios. We briefly summarize our previously presented models covering different aspects of communication in 3D scenarios, including an environmental diffraction model, an n-ray ground interference model, and the consideration of multi-floor communication. We then describe the principle of a model selector, which applies the appropriate models depending on the environment of the currently transmitted packet. Subsequently, we use the outlined methodology implemented in our Veins 3D framework to simulate a large urban reference scenario. The results differ significantly from comparable 2D simulations, demonstrating the necessity of three-dimensional considerations. However, they also show strongly increased execution times. Therefore, we further suggest different approaches to improve the simulation performance. Based on these optimizations, simulation durations in the same order of magnitude as a comparable 2D simulation can be achieved.

“…VANETs, with their mobility and self-regulation across area networks, are the appropriate solution for managing firefighting unmanned ground vehicles (firefighting UGV). However, many issues remain in administering these networks, including the scalability, routing, privacy, security, and quality of service (QoS) [ 4 ]. The primary goal of this research is to analyze the QoS problem and the network routing problem with high efficiency, to obtain a better stability in the routing protocols of large-scale dynamic VANET networks, where VANET routing protocols still suffer from various restrictions [ 5 ].…”

“…Moreover, some researchers have employed local motion characteristics, such as the GyTAR and TADS protocols, to predict the next junction, although neither the density of the chemicals nor their distribution can reflect the overall pattern of the QoS improvement. The increased vehicle density can improve the network connectivity, but it also can cause an increase in the data throughput on the network [ 4 ]. The CAR protocol for the routing packets employs the idea of blind flooding in its schemes, rendering it ineffectual in improving the QoS and potentially burdening the network [ 8 ].…”

Improving models for managing the networks of firefighting unmanned ground vehicles in crowded areas, as a recommendation system (RS), represented a difficult challenge. This challenge comes from the peculiarities of these types of networks. These networks are distinguished by the network coverage area size, frequent network connection failures, and quick network structure changes. The research aims to improve the communication network of self-driving firefighting unmanned ground vehicles by determining the best routing track to the desired fire area. The suggested new model intends to improve the RS regarding the optimum tracking route for firefighting unmanned ground vehicles by employing the ant colony optimization technique. This optimization method represents one of the swarm theories utilized in vehicles ad–hoc networks and social networks. According to the results, the proposed model can enhance the navigation of self-driving firefighting unmanned ground vehicles towards the fire region, allowing firefighting unmanned ground vehicles to take the shortest routes possible, while avoiding closed roads and traffic accidents. This study aids in the control and management of ad–hoc vehicle networks, vehicles of everything, and the internet of things.

The Public Safety Network (PSN) is important for providing communication after a possible disaster. It provides a communication opportunity between the victims under the wreckage and the rescue team in the case of base stations do not function. Device-to-device (D2D) discovery and communication provides communication services in such difficult situations without the requirement of network infrastructure and by reducing call traffic in cellular communication networks. Therefore, device discovery according to different parameter values in the simulator environment for 3GPP and PSN provides great convenience to users in the application phase. In this study, we presented a device-to-device (D2D) discovery simulator based on the Matlab Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the students and researchers related to the wireless communication area. In this simulator, there are different pathloss models for D2D communication along with the parameters suggested by 3GPP and PSN for educational and research purposes. D2D discovery results are given in visual graphics with the parameter settings in the simulator’s interface. Thanks to the D2D discovery simulator, the students and researchers can easily understand how the user mobile devices discover each other which is necessary for D2D communication in the disaster area. They can also compare device discovery algorithms with different parameters and models. Six different scenario examples and an evaluation questionnaire about the D2D discovery simulator were proposed to students and researchers at a University in Turkey. The users (students and researchers) can easily test D2D discovery algorithms with different simulation parameters with a user-friendly interface thanks to the developed simulator.
