Veins 3.0 released: the Open Source vehicular network simulation framework

[Christoph Sommer]

Dear all,

We are happy to announce Veins 3.0, the latest version of our Open
Source vehicular network simulation framework for OMNeT++.

Full source code, a beginner's tutorial, and documentation are available at

http://veins.car2x.org/

This release continues the framework's eight-year tradition of providing
a comprehensive set of high quality models for the simulation of Inter
Vehicle Communication (IVC) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2X)
communication. Since the last release of Veins, its user base has
exploded to include universities from all continents employing Veins for
research and teaching, governmental bodies, and independent research
institutes as well as research and development centers of the major
European, U.S., and Japanese automobile manufacturers. A selection of
publications is available on

http://veins.car2x.org/publications/

Like previous versions, Veins 3.0 is based on Open Source software to
offer unrestricted extensibility, relies on SUMO, a well-established
microscopic traffic simulator by the Transportation and Traffic Science
community, and allows for online re-configuration and re-routing of
vehicles in reaction to network packets.

For this release, Veins has been refactored for improved extensibility.
It can now easily be linked with the INET Framework to include models
for Internet and infrastructure simulation, cellular networks
simulation, or custom built simulator interlinking environments. At the
same time, compile times have been drastically reduced and usability
optimized for beginners. Parking (but actively participating) vehicles
are supported out of the box, as are Road Side Units (RSUs), a use case
now included in the beginners' tutorial. Veins 3.0 also allows for
in-depth investigations of network metrics (most notably, determining
precise channel busy times or the precise fraction of packet loss
directly attributable to collisions).

We are deeply grateful to our colleagues at the universities of
Paderborn, Erlangen, Trento, Sydney, Innsbruck, Luxembourg, TU Berlin,
UCLA, and CMU, as well as TH Ingolstadt, Fraunhofer, the German
Aerospace Center and everyone else who contributed simulation models and
code, reported and fixed bugs, or helped us with their input since we
published the first release candidate of Veins 3.0.

We would like to invite everyone to download and try out Veins 3.0 -- as
always, we will be happy to help with any open questions or problems
during migration! A full change log can be found on

On behalf of the Veins core team,

Christoph
