ABSTRACT
At the current early stages in the design of large-scale intervehicular communication systems, such investigations on the relationships between mobility and performance of networking techniques are necessarily bound to simulated environments. Indeed,
logistic di culties, economic issues, and technology limitations render experimental studies too complex, time-consuming, and economically expensive, considering that most research projects in the eld of vehicular networking deal with novel schemes of unproven reliability, requiring the cooperation of tens of cars and, possibly, a roadside telecommunication infrastructure.
