Abstract

Efficient mobility management is an issue of vast economic importance for its consequences on urban and suburban mobility. In this context, telecommunications are gaining a key role, allowing to increase people safety, traffic efficiency, and travel comfort. To investigate the telecommunication systems behavior in new infomobility scenarios, advanced simulations tools are needed jointly taking into account realistic road traffic mobility and telecommunication networks protocols in all their aspects. In this paper we discuss the architecture of a complex and complete simulation platform we are developing on the behalf of the Italian project PEGASUS: the choice of traffic simulators, the network simulation and their interface will be presented and described.
