Abstract

This paper describes the design of an intelligent traveler assistant (ITA) simulation environment capable of multi-modal traffic simulation in an ad hoc wireless network enabled environment. This hybrid platform integrates the traffic micro simulator VISSIM, the wireless network simulators SWANS, and a set of software ITA interfaces and services designed to model various applications.
