Introducing Cellular Network Layer into SUMO for Simulating Vehicular Mobile Devices' Interactions in Urban Environment

During the last decade researchers have been demonstrating the importance of mobile data or CDR data in depicting the human mobility patterns. However, this type of data is not easy to get access to from mobile operators. Besides, in order to make this type of data available and enable their usage for the scientific communities the process can face many constraints that can constitute obstacle. From this perspective, this paper introduces a way to produce realistic real-life mobility logs through the traffic simulation tool SUMO, which has been enhanced with a cellular network layer to mimic cellular networking behavior.
