How to combine a basic sumo scenario with omnet++ network?

I am using the virtual machine instant-veins-4-7-1-i1.ova on VirtualBox.

I have created a sumo scenario with 2 vehicles (my_nodes.nod.xml, my_edge.edg.xml, my_type.type.xml, my_net.net.xml, my_net.rou.xml, my_config_file.sumocfg ). Launching the sumo-gui command from the terminal and selecting my_config_file.sumocfg file, I can run the scenario simulation.

I have followed the Tictoc tutorial on Omnet++ site and if I run it on Omnet++ IDE, it will work fine.

In the Omnet++ IDE, I am able to run correctly the Veins Erlangen example.

Now, I would like to integrate my sumo scenario and the Tictoc network to realize a simulation similar to the Veins Erlangen example. Which are the steps that I should follow?

Thanks.

Solution

  • A straightforward answer would be to modify the Veins 4.7.1 tutorial simulation's network by adding a Tic node and a Toc node. I am guessing, though, that this is not what you had in mind. You probably want to change the Veins tutorial simulation to use your my_config_file.sumocfg instead of its own erlangen.sumo.cfg file.

    The file that is configured as the road traffic simulation in omnetpp.ini is called erlangen.launchd.xml. By changing this file (or configuring the simulation to use another one) you can change which SUMO scenario is simulated when you run the Veins example.
