Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are predestined for traffic safety applications in the domain of Inter-Vehicular-Communication (IVC) because of their low-latency connections. These applications require thorough testing to meet the high expectations regarding reliability and availability. However, IVC applications are difficult to test in the field, especially when many vehicles are involved. Thus, software is usually put “into the loop” by encapsulating it into an isolated testbed with a simulated environment. The creation of non-trivial test scenarios is a tedious process with the current tools, though. We present a novel approach for modelling IVC scenarios that supports dynamically evolving traffic conditions, e.g. due to worsening weather conditions or incidents in the course of a traffic jam. Cornerstone of this method is our dynamic scenario control based on environment conditions and effects. This paper not only presents the principles of this mechanism but also demonstrates its versatility for various standardised IVC use cases. Dynamic scenario control enables VANET simulations to be used for testing a wider range of applications even in complex scenarios.
