Advanced Multi-application Simulation Platform for Communicating Vehicles: Application to Obstacle Avoidance Through Automation and Networking

Abstract Developing and evaluating connected and autonomous vehicles mobility is inherently complex. To capture vehicle dynamics, perception and decision-making, and also realistic communication behavior, it requires dedicated simulation environments for traffic respectively, flow modeling, vehicle dynamics, and communication networks. Integrated tool that supports all these capabilities simultaneously remain scarce. When further considering the requirement that algorithms developed in simulatio
