Multi-story parking garages are an important and widespread part of (urban) traffic, which will also benefit from the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) of the future. Concerning the communication aspects, they constitute a special environment. In this paper, we describe a combination of models to offer the possibility of investigating parking garage scenarios with the help of vehicular network simulators. We outline how inter-floor communication, small-scale fading as well as obstacles can be taken into consideration. To evaluate this approach, we performed two kinds of measurements in two multi-story parking garages. Based on these data, we first determine the floor attenuation factors for both buildings. Second, we compare the path loss captured during two test drives to the results of corresponding simulation runs, which show good agreement. Finally, the proposed extensions are used to simulate a sample large-scale scenario, investigating the influence of different bitrates on the communication conditions in a parking garage.
