mobility generators through trafc models is necessary. Mobility simulators are a necessary tool to
test the impact of vehicular movements even for really complex scenarios like roads and highways.
Among the most relevant options offered by trafc simulators are to allow varying the number of
lanes and the shape of the roads, including trafc lights and intersections. In terms of vehicular
mobility, they usually implement a car-following model, as well as a multilane changing model to
simulate overtaking among vehicles. At the moment, several simulation software environments
exist and ...
