The goal of this research is to simulate and analyze an Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). Automobiles of the future will take advantage of IVC capabilities, in which vehicles will communicate with one another wirelessly. The Crash Avoidance Metrics Partnership (CAMP) Vehicle Safety Communications Consortium (VSCC) has identified three scenarios that are representative of the capabilities of future vehicular networks: Curve Speed Warning (CSW), Traffic Signal Violation Warning (TSVW), and Extended Brake Lights (EBL). We consider only EBL, as it is the only scenario that involves direct communication between vehicles. This research aims to simulate the EBL scenario over an IVC network, and analyze the network using accepted metrics and benchmarks. The resulting performance data may influence and motive future research efforts.
