Popis: These days wireless communication has impacted our daily lives. The developments achieved in this field have made our lives amazingly simpler, easier, convenient and comfortable. One of these developments has occurred in Car to Car Communication (C2CC). Communication between cars often referred to vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) has many advantages such as: reducing cars accidents, minimizing the traffic jam, reducing fuel consumption and emissions and etc. For a closer look on C2CC studies the necessity of simulation is obvious. Network simulators can simulate the Ad-hoc network but they cannot simulate the huge traffic of cities. In order to solve this problem, in this paper we study the Veins framework which is used to run a Traffic (SUMO) and a Network (OMNET++) simulator in parallel and we simulate the realistic traffics of the city of Cologne, Germany, as an ad-hoc network.
