Improved lane-changing model for vanets in SUMO

摘要

As an important branch of mobile Ad Hoc network technology, Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a promising technology in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). It is required to evaluate any VANET design which the simulator with vehicular mobility model should be more realistic. In order to improve the authenticity of vehicular mobility model, the paper analyzed JE2013 lane-changing model in SUMO and proposes a new model based on the JE2013 model. The new model takes into account motorway scene, and analyzes the change of vehicle velocity and calculates the position coordinate after lane-changing which based on speed limitation per lane on motorway. By implementing the new model in SUMO platform and carrying out experiments for the two models under the same situation. Simulation experimental results indicate that the new model is more reality and has better performance on several parameters, such as travel time of vehicle and the lane-changing times, etc.
