Summary:To evaluate the feasibility of vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) applications, it is crucial to have an accurate estimation for the quality of the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) radio links and recently it has been shown that the link quality is highly dependent on the location and the velocity of the transmitting vehicle, the receiving vehicle, and their neighbor vehicles. To this end, in this paper we propose a rule-based model to simulate the mobility of both cars and scooters, which are one of the most important transportation means in lots of Asian and European countries. Our proposed model considers various details: different aspects of the road structure - multiple lanes and the traffic lights, the driver's lane-changing behaviors, and, most importantly, the difference in the driving behaviors between cars and scooters. We also present several design guidelines for the VANET systems which are derived from the simulation results.
