SimConVA
Connected Autonomous Vehicles Simulator
Functional Description: The software provides an interface between the network simulator ns-3 (https://www.nsnam.org/) and the modular prototyping framework RTMaps (https://intempora.com/).
This code allows to create an RTMaps component which activates and controls the ns-3 simulator. The component handles the sending and reception of data packets between ns-3 and RTMaps for each vehicle. It also handles the mobility of vehicles in ns-3 using their known position in RTMaps.
