Popis: Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication is available in production cars only since end of 2019. Therefore, the load of these communication channels in real-world streets is very low nowadays. But market penetration rates will eventually increase and so will the channel loads. It is therefore crucial to design protocols and communication mechanisms in a way that they will perform well under high-load conditions, too. In order to test and evaluate them, a couple of simulators and traffic scenarios have been developed. However, so far researchers tend to re-create different versions of similar scenarios over and over again. This leads to results which are not easy to reproduce and compare to each other. Therefore, this paper proposes OrbWeaver: An open source tool automatically generating fully customisable, spider web shaped traffic scenarios which are suitable for high-load simulations. Simply by publishing the used input parameters, researchers can enable the community to easily generate the same scenario and compare their results. Three different scenarios generated with OrbWeaver are evaluated and their channel loads, message drop and transmission rates are compared, showing the feasibility of the generated scenarios for the evaluation of protocols under different network loads.
