Abstract:
In general, computer simulation is the preferred approach when investigating Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET). During the last years different platforms have emerged, regarding the evaluation of next-generation autonomous vehicular mobility and car-to-car wireless connectivity. NCTUns (now Estinet) is a relevant networking environment that provides support for IEEE 802.11p-based connectivity between cars. This paper describes on the implementation of an inter-module communications’ scheme designed to allow reciprocal message transmission and processing between a mobility and a messaging agent in vehicles supporting Cooperative chain Collision Avoidance (CcCA) for improving safety even under rear-end collision risky circumstances. Novelty holds in the bidirectional inter-module channel that features the management of mobility in these environments according to the communication’s protocol that implements the CcCA application, and viceversa. As an additional characteristic of the impl
ementation, a Nakagami-m channel model is implemented to recreate intervehicular communications more realistically.
