Disolv

Disolv stands for Dataflow-centric Integrated Simulation Of Large scale VANETs.

What is Disolv?

Disolv is a VANET simulator capable of studying futuristic Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications. Disolv is designed with the primary goal of supporting large-scale simulations of various ITS scenarios. For a more conceptual overview and the architecture design decisions, refer to the documentation at Disolv-Documentation.

Why?

I am Charan and I am a PhD student at TUM. My research is in urban mobility simulations and I developed Disolv to assist my research.

Collaboration

Reach out to me at nagacharan.tangirala@tum.de if you are interested in using Disolv for your research. Or reach out to me if you want to learn more about it.

Sample Scenarios

Scenarios and the instructions on how to run them are available at disolv-scenarios.
