Abstract

Vehicle mobility has a significant impact on wireless communication between vehicles (buses) in Public Transportation Systems (PTS). Nevertheless, the transportation literature does not provide satisfactory models for bus movements because they are influenced by a variety of factors (itineraries, timetables, etc.). Custom-made mobility models that take these issues into account require a great deal of effort and may render simulations unfeasible. This article considers a tool (EMMS) that automatically inserts PTS information into a mobility simulator in order to undertake a complete statistical analysis of vehicular density, trip duration, and vehicle-to-vehicle interaction. In light of opportunistic communication services, this analysis is of the utmost importance.
