Abstract :
This demo describes how visualization can be used to gain insight into the following properties of vehicular communication on a city scale: received power, communication range, and number of directly reachable vehicles. Furthermore, the demo shows how visualization can provide useful insights for planning vehicular communication systems in urban environments (e.g., in terms of infrastructure placement, designing effective algorithms, etc.). Videos of the demo can be found at http://vehicle2x.net/videos.
