In vehicular networks, due to the special nature of the
environment, simulations must consider two important aspects
that characterize this type of network: the high mobility
of nodes and the radio communication between the
nodes. However, as mobility and radio communication have
very different characteristics, different types of simulators for
vehicular networks are used. In [2] simulators are divided
into three types: (i) network simulators, (ii) mobility and
traffic generators and (iii) VANET simulators. However, some
network and mobility simulators do not integrate with other
tools, which hinders the possibility of simulating scenarios
closer to a real environment. Following the need for real-time
communication between these simulators, some frameworks
were implemented. This integrated environment, known as
VANET simulator, provides more satisfactory and realistic
results when simulating vehicular networks.
