Profile based mobility model for vehicular ad- hoc networks

This paper presents a profile based modeling method for generation of realistic mobility pattern for vehicles. It is assumed the profile of the motion of vehicles has a Gaussian profile with different parameters. A driver, first, selects the source, destination and his path and then, selects a profile accordingly. This paper also addresses the issues of lane changing, overtaking, selection of profile based speed, that are dependent on road, node density, destination time etc. The simulation results show that profile based model is able to generate realistic and smooth mobility pattern. Moreover, the model is able to accurately generate the driver behavior during lane changing, at traffic lights etc.
