sumo-launchd is still missing from inet-3.0.0 to later release for VANETs simulation

Question

currently I am trying to simulate the existing MANET routing protocols (AODV, OLSR, GPSR, etc.)for VANET using OMNeT++-4.6, INET-3.2.3, and SUMO-0.25.0 for the simulation. But I have noticed that sumo-launchd.py such as Traci Mobility is missing from INET-3.0.0 to later releases.

Is there any alternative way of coupling the sumo with the inet framework or I need to use Veins to solve this problem? If I need to use veins framework, then which thing I have to consider for the simulation.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Citing from the SUMO Wiki V2X environments currently in active development are

• Veins
• VSimRTI
• iCS

Only the first two support Omnet++ and only the first and the third are free and open source (and only the first has sumo-launchd.py). There may be other tools out there and since the tools are open you can always develop your own but probably Veins is the easiest option.
