NDSSL Proto-entities

NDSSL has produced several synthetic data sets that are being released to the larger academic community for research. The data sets are based on detailed microscopic simulation-based modeling and integration techniques. Data Sets 1 and 2 represent a synthetic population of the city of Portland. Data Set 3 is a movie showing how the topology of a hypothetical ad-hoc network would change as the vehicles carrying the move. It is based on microscopic simulation of vehicular traffic in Washington, DC.
