Abstract
The study of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is usually performed by means of software simulations. However, in order to evaluate the integration of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology into VANETs functionality, we have developed a scale test bench. It is composed of several vehicles provided with an RFID reader to detect the tags on the road, and the wireless native capability of the VANETs to communicate with other vehicles. The main objective of this RFID-VANET simulator is to show the interoperation of these technologies as a previous step to real implementations in vehicles. For this reason, we have incorporated specific circuitry to the small robots, and programmed them to reproduce real scenarios.
