提出了一种集成的可扩展的车辆传感器网络仿真平台BHU-VSim，旨在为智能城市中典型的车辆应用提供通用的仿真环境。为了部署城市交通场景，我们提出了一种层次对象结构来管理网络中具有不同运动模型的实体。此外，我们设计了一个通用的数据容器来表示传输的不同类型的数据，并提供了两种生成数据包的方案。在传输控制方面，该平台包括三个组件：任务调度、存储管理和路由部署。我们支持引入外部路由协议并配置相关参数，以满足各种传输需求。最后给出了一个应用实例、实时交通监控和统计分析实例，验证了该仿真器的实用性和准确性。总之，作为一种开创性的尝试，我们的平台对VSNs的仿真有了很大的改进。
This paper presents an integrated extensible simulation platform BHU-VSim for vehicular sensor networks (VSNs), which aims to support general simulation environment for typical vehicular applications in smart cities. To deploy urban traffic scenario, we propose a hierarchical object structure to manage entities with different movement models in the network. Furthermore, we design a general data container to present different kinds of data transferred and provide two schemes to generate data packages. Regarding transmission control, the platform includes three components: task scheduling, storage management, and routing deployment. We support importing external routing protocols and configuring relevant parameters to satisfy various transmission requirements. Finally, an instance application, real-time traffic monitoring, and an example of statistical analysis are introduced to prove the practicality and accuracy of the simulator. In one word, as an initiate attempt, our platform provides significant improvement of VSNs' simulations.
