Cooperative
collision warning (CCW) systems use
communication networks as a main component for creating
situational awareness
and eventually hazard detection. Simulation and analysis of such
systems are
generally more complicated due to the system being composed of
components from
very different domains of communication and vehicle safety.
These components
are inherently developed and modeled in different domains, as
their basic
operations are usually defined and engineered by researchers
from different
disciplines. Creating a simulation tool for CCW systems requires
combining
simulation models that are developed using different
methodologies. As a
result, a unified tool for study of such systems is not readily
available. In
this project, we describe a co-simulation tool that models both
components of
communication and hazard prediction in one framework. The tool
uses several
different levels of abstraction for the communication model,
while modeling the
application in a precise manner. We show that communication
component can
indeed be abstracted to some level without loss of accuracy. We
also
investigate the impact of using different communication
strategies on the
performance of CCW systems, and demonstrate the possibilities
that the co-simulation
tool offers.
