Dear Colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce VERGILIUS a research toolbox featuring the CORNER Urban-Propagation model, and the VERGILIUS mobility-scenario builder for Vehicular and Ad Hoc networks.  

The CORNER propagation uses real city maps and accounts for city-blocks/BUILDINGS in its computations.  The VERGILIUS MOBILITY toolbox is designed to streamline large-scale mobility design in both SUMO and CORSIM.   

You are welcome to download VERGILIUS and freely use it at:

please report any bugs you may find at:  [email-masked]

Thank you
Eugenio Giordano & Giovanni Pau

*** ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND PUBLICATIONS  ****

CORNER is a lightweight yet accurate URBAN PROPAGATION model for Qualnet 4.5.  The CORNER propagation model accounts for city-blocks/buildings in its computations; the NS implementation will be released before the summer. 

CORNER has been extensively cross-validated using the UCLA Campus Vehicular Testbed (C-VeT). The street-maps used by corner are provided by the VERGILIUS Mobility toolbox using the tiger-map database. 

VERGILIUS Mobility toolbox is a scenario generator for SUMO and CORSIM.  VERGILIUS takes as input  the US census TIGER map database and  creates the configuration and mobility files for CORSIM and SUMO. 
The micro-mobility simulator (i.e. SUMO/CORSIM),  will output the mobility-traces for many of the leading network simulators.
