One-click installation of Veins as a virtual machine, fully configured and ready
to run the tutorial. Try out Veins in 5 minutes. Learn more »

TEXTBOOK: VEHICULAR NETWORKING

A comprehensive textbook on IVC, published by Cambridge University Press, is now
available. Topics range from basics all the way up to simulative performance
evaluation and beyond. Read sample »

RICH GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

The rich graphical user interfaces of OMNeT++ and SUMO make it easy to see what
happens in a simulation, when it happens. They also allow interacting with the
simulation. Learn more »

NETWORK SIMULATION

The network simulation component makes it possible to employ validated,
computationally inexpensive models of shadowing effects caused by buildings as
well as by vehicles. Learn more »

Veins is an open source framework for running vehicular network simulations. It
is based on two well-established simulators: OMNeT++, an event-based network
simulator, and SUMO, a road traffic simulator. It extends these to offer a
comprehensive suite of models for IVC simulation.

WHAT CAN VEINS DO?



The Veins framework includes a comprehensive suite of models to make vehicular
network simulations as realistic as possible, without sacrificing speed. The GUI
and IDE of OMNeT++ and SUMO can be used for quickly setting up and interactively
running simulations.

In the screencast above, blue cars are heading west. An accident is simulated at
①, along with a simple protocol informing drivers of jams. This makes it
possible to investigate dynamic re-routing around an accident.

HOW DOES VEINS WORK?



Road traffic simulation is performed by SUMO, which is well-established in the
domain of traffic engineering. Network simulation is performed by OMNeT++ along
with the physical layer modelling toolkit MiXiM, which makes it possible to
employ accurate models for radio interference, as well as shadowing by static
and moving obstacles.

Both simulators are bi-directionally coupled and simulations are performed
online. This way, the influence of vehicular networks on road traffic can be
modeled and complex interactions between both domains examined.

Domain specific models for vehicular networking build on this basis to provide a
comprehensive framework that is still easy to learn and use.

WHO USES VEINS?



Veins has its roots in a research project by the same name, targeting enhanced
simulative performance evaluation of vehicular networks. While this research
project is by now finished, the Veins simulation framework, parts of it dating
back to early 2006, is still under active development as Open Source software.

Its ever growing user base is spanning five continents, including universities,
governmental bodies, and independent research institutes - as well as research
and development centers of the major automobile manufacturers.
