The current implementation of ns-3 provides only synthetic mobility models that disregard the map where the nodes are moving, however, the study of vehicular ad-hoc networks requires the usage of more realistic mobility models. The usage of mobility traces created by traffic simulators such as SUMO is feasible, however, these simulators possess a steep learning curve, which prevents their fruition for most researchers whose research focus and expertise are on the data communication layer.
