Dear all, We are happy to announce Veins 3.0, the latest version of our Open Source vehicular network simulation framework for OMNeT++.
Full source code, a beginner's tutorial, and documentation are available at http://veins.car2x.org/ This release continues the framework's eight-year tradition of providing a comprehensive set of high quality models for the simulation of Inter Vehicle Communication (IVC) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2X) communication. Since the last release of Veins, its user base has exploded to include universities from all continents employing Veins for research and teaching, governmental bodies, and independent research institutes as well as research and development centers of the major European, U.S., and Japanese automobile manufacturers. A selection of publications is available on http://veins.car2x.org/publications/ Like previous versions, Veins 3.0 is based on Open Source software to offer unrestricted extensibility, relies on SUMO, a well-established microscopic traffic simulator by the Transportation and Traffic Science community, and allows for online re-configuration and re-routing of vehicles in reaction to network packets. For this release, Veins has been refactored for improved extensibility. It can now easily be linked with the INET Framework to include models for Internet and infrastructure simulation, cellular networks simulation, or custom built simulator interlinking environments. At the same time, compile times have been drastically reduced and usability optimized for beginners. Parking (but actively participating) vehicles are supported out of the box, as are Road Side Units (RSUs), a use case now included in the beginners' tutorial. Veins 3.0 also allows for in-depth investigations of network metrics (most notably, determining precise channel busy times or the precise fraction of packet loss directly attributable to collisions). We are deeply grateful to our colleagues at the universities of Paderborn, Erlangen, Trento, Sydney, Innsbruck, Luxembourg, TU Berlin, UCLA, and CMU, as well as TH Ingolstadt, Fraunhofer, the German Aerospace Center and everyone else who contributed simulation models and code, reported and fixed bugs, or helped us with their input since we published the first release candidate of Veins 3.0. We would like to invite everyone to download and try out Veins 3.0 -- as always, we will be happy to help with any open questions or problems during migration!
