Missing Bicycle Module in Veins 5.2 Documentation

Missing Veins Modules: Car, Bike, Bicycle, Train

Veins is a popular open-source framework for simulating inter-vehicle communications, based on the OMNeT++ network simulator and the SUMO traffic simulator. The Veins framework provides a set of modules for simulating different types of vehicles, such as cars, bikes, bicycles, and trains. However, some users have reported that they are unable to find these modules in the Veins documentation.

The Fact

It is true that the Veins documentation provides links to modules for cars, bikes, bicycles, and trains, but these modules are not included in the Veins distribution. This is because Veins is designed to be a flexible and modular framework, allowing users to develop their own modules for simulating different types of vehicles.

The Directory Structure of Veins

To develop your own modules for Veins, you need to understand the directory structure of the Veins framework. The main directory of Veins contains the following subdirectories:

• src: This directory contains the source code of the Veins framework, including the base module for simulating vehicles.
• docs: This directory contains the documentation of the Veins framework, including the user manual and API documentation.
• tests: This directory contains the test cases for the Veins framework, including unit tests and integration tests.
• examples: This directory contains the example scenarios for the Veins framework, including simple scenarios and complex scenarios.

How to Develop Your Own Modules

To develop your own modules for Veins, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new directory under the src directory, with the same name as your module.
2. Create a new C++ file under your module directory, with the same name as your module and the extension .h.
3. Define your module class in your header file, inheriting from the base module class TraCIScenarioManagerLaunchd.
4. Implement your module class in your C++ file, overriding the necessary methods and adding your own functionality.
5. Add your module to the Veins configuration file omnetpp.ini, by specifying the name and location of your module.

Examples of Custom Modules

To illustrate how to develop custom modules for Veins, here are some examples:

• Veins::TraciApplication: This is a simple module for sending and receiving messages using the TraCI interface of SUMO.
• Veins::TraCIVehicleMobility: This is a module for simulating the mobility of vehicles using the TraCI interface of SUMO.
• Veins::BasicSafetyMessage: This is a module for generating and processing basic safety messages (BSMs) according to the IEEE 1609.2 standard.
