      <title>Simulator Coupling</title>
      <link>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/simulator_coupling/</link>

      <guid>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/simulator_coupling/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This section provides general information which helps to couple your own simulator with Eclipse MOSAIC. For a
successful coupling, two parts are required: the Federate Ambassador is the communication interface
between the RTI and your simulator. It implements predefined interfaces of the Eclipse MOSAIC core library
and is directly coupled with Eclipse MOSAIC. Second, your simulator needs to communicate with the Federate
Ambassador. For this purpose, you either need to implement your own protocol to control the simulator,
or use existing ones of your respective simulator (e.g. SUMO provides the TraCI byte buffer protocol).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;implementing-a-federate-ambassador&#34;&gt;Implementing a Federate Ambassador&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to simplify federate development and to make the usage of the mechanisms provided by the RTI
safer, an abstract class called &lt;code&gt;AbstractFederateAmbassador&lt;/code&gt; is provided by the Eclipse MOSAIC core package.
It implements the &lt;code&gt;FederateAmbassador&lt;/code&gt; interface and handles incoming interactions as well as time
advance grants according to the specified federate behaviour. When a federate implementation is making
use of the &lt;code&gt;AbstractFederateAmbassador&lt;/code&gt; as a super class, it has to provide two information to the
superclass while constructing an instance of the class. These are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;isTimeConstrained&lt;/code&gt;: The general way this parameter can be understood, is that if it is set to &lt;strong&gt;true&lt;/strong&gt;
the federate is sensitive towards the time stamp order of interactions. The &lt;code&gt;AbstractFederateAmbassador&lt;/code&gt;
will then queue incoming interactions and request a time advance from the RTI in order to ensure that
processing the received interaction is safe. At the time the requested time advance is granted, every
queued interaction with a time stamp smaller or equal to the granted time will be delivered to the
federate for processing. If set to &lt;strong&gt;false&lt;/strong&gt;, incoming interactions will be forwarded immediately to
the federate, thus resulting in a &lt;em&gt;receive-order&lt;/em&gt; of interactions at the federate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;isTimeRegulating&lt;/code&gt;: Specifies whether the federate will publish time stamped interactions and
thus can influence the time advances of other federates in the federation. If set to &lt;strong&gt;true&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;code&gt;AbstractFederateAmbassador&lt;/code&gt;
will request time advances with respect to the specified lookahead
value of the federate in order to avoid that time management schedules the execution of other
federates while queued interactions are processed. If set to &lt;strong&gt;false&lt;/strong&gt;, time advance requests that are
issued due to incoming interactions will be flagged with an unlimited lookahead, allowing the RTI to
schedule other federates while incoming interactions are processed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&#34;further-notes&#34;&gt;Further notes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coupling a multitude of different simulators and properly syncing them is a non-trivial task and requires a lot of effort in order to
function correctly. If you have read up on High Level Architecture before
(have a look 


&lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Level_Architecture&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;
    here
&lt;/a&gt;
 and at the linked references) you might notice, that the
previous flowchart does not completely reflect the proposed mechanisms. For instance, the &lt;code&gt;isTimeRegulating&lt;/code&gt; flag has no effect, when the
&lt;code&gt;isTimeConstrained&lt;/code&gt; flag is not set.&lt;br&gt;
So at some points you might stumble upon federates, which have their &lt;code&gt;isTimeConstrained&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;isTimeRegulating&lt;/code&gt; flags set to different
values as you would expect. An example of this is the &lt;code&gt;ApplicationAmbassador&lt;/code&gt;. One would expect it to be time-constrained as well as
time-regulating. This isn&amp;rsquo;t the case though, because the &lt;code&gt;ApplicationAmbassador&lt;/code&gt; implements its own time- and event-management,
which would interfere with the internal mechanisms.&lt;br&gt;
When implementing your own federate, you can use the existing ones as reference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;example&#34;&gt;Example&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A federate that is &lt;code&gt;timeConstrained&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;timeRegulated&lt;/code&gt; can handle a time stamped interaction
only after receiving a corresponding time advance grant. For that reason, the &lt;code&gt;AbstractFederateAmbassador&lt;/code&gt;
caches the incoming interactions in a local queue and requests a time advance with the interactions
time stamp. After getting a grant for that time stamp, it forwards the interaction via the &lt;code&gt;processInteraction&lt;/code&gt;
method call and afterwards invokes &lt;code&gt;processTimeAdvanceGrant&lt;/code&gt; to allow the federate to proceed in its
local simulation time. In the activity diagram in the following figure, the process of handling of incoming interactions
with respect to the federate configuration is illustrated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&#34;integration-into-eclipse-mosaic&#34;&gt;Integration into Eclipse MOSAIC&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first step to integrate a new component is the extension of the configuration file &lt;code&gt;etc/runtime.json&lt;/code&gt;.
An example for a federate configuration can be found in following listing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-json&#34;&gt;&amp;quot;federates&amp;quot;: [
    ...
    {
        &amp;quot;id&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;omnetpp&amp;quot;,
        &amp;quot;classname&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;org.eclipse.mosaic.fed.omnetpp.ambassador.OmnetppAmbassador&amp;quot;,
        &amp;quot;configuration&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;omnetpp_config.json&amp;quot;,
        &amp;quot;configurationDeployPath&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;omnetpp-federate/simulations&amp;quot;,
        &amp;quot;priority&amp;quot;: 50,
        &amp;quot;dockerImage&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;&amp;quot;,
        &amp;quot;host&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;local&amp;quot;,
        &amp;quot;port&amp;quot;: 4998,
        &amp;quot;deploy&amp;quot;: true,
        &amp;quot;start&amp;quot;: true,
        &amp;quot;subscriptions&amp;quot;: [
            &amp;quot;VehicleRegistration&amp;quot;,
            &amp;quot;RsuRegistration&amp;quot;,
            &amp;quot;TrafficLightRegistration&amp;quot;,
            ...
        ],
        &amp;quot;javaClasspathEntries&amp;quot;: []
    },
    ...       
]
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following parameters are available:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;class&lt;/code&gt; - Attribute giving the full qualified name of the Java class which implements the Feder-
ateAmbassador interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;id&lt;/code&gt; - The id of the federate. This value should be as short as possible and will be also used for
identifying the configuration folder within scenarios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;deploy&lt;/code&gt; - If set to true, the federate placed under bin/fed/&lt;id&gt; will be copied to the execution
host (according to the host configuration file).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;start&lt;/code&gt; - If set to true, the federate will be started by the federation management using the start
command specified in the configuration file or this implementation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;subscriptions&lt;/code&gt; - A list of interaction names which the Federate Ambassador subscribes for. If any other
ambassador sends out one of those interactions, this ambassador will receive them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;interaction-extension&#34;&gt;Interaction extension&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another possibility to extend Eclipse MOSAIC is to add a new interaction to the set of predefined interactions. In the following
figure, the abstract class &lt;code&gt;Interaction&lt;/code&gt;, implemented interaction extensions, and a place holder for further
extensions (rectangles with grey fonts and a dotted border) are illustrated. When the InteractionManagement
forwards interactions among federates, it chooses the destination based on a interaction id and
an optional condition. Furthermore, it synchronizes the interaction delivery based on their times. The
abstract class &lt;code&gt;Interaction&lt;/code&gt; offers these attributes but no further content. The exchanged content has to be
implemented by extending the class &lt;code&gt;Interaction&lt;/code&gt;. The already implemented extensions cover the content
necessary to simulate common scenarios. However, for further scenarios further interactions might be
required.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Interactions in Eclipse MOSAIC</title>
      <link>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/interactions/</link>
      <pubDate>Thu, 06 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <guid>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/interactions/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This chapter is intended to document interactions that can be sent and received between Eclipse MOSAIC federates
in order to enable users to easily design and integrate new federates and connect them to existing
federates. Note that we use the word &amp;ldquo;interaction&amp;rdquo; whenever we describe communication between federates,
whereas we talk about a &amp;ldquo;message&amp;rdquo; primarily when concerned with V2X-communication.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All interactions are categorized by the package they are contained in, which corresponds to their main context/purpose.
The &amp;ldquo;Sent by&amp;rdquo; column is not necessarily complete for all interactions but should give an idea where interactions are used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;mapping&#34;&gt;mapping&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All interactions in this package are concerned with adding/registering simulation-units to the simulation.
While most of the introductions are handled by the &lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;- or &lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;-ambassador, some of them
are handled by the ambassadors for the traffic simulators (see 


&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/mosaic/tutorials/lust/&#34;&gt;
    LuST
&lt;/a&gt;
-scenario).
In this case the interactions are used to initialize the scenario.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Interaction name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Sent by&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;VehicleRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is sent by the vehicle mapping component to indicate the introduction of a new vehicle to the simulation. Note, this does not necessarily imply that the added vehicle is already simulated by the traffic simulator.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;ChargingStationRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction indicates the introduction of a charging station to the simulation. All units are introduced at simulation start time, e.g. 0s.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;RsuRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction indicates the introduction of a roadside unit to the simulation.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;TmcRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction indicates the introduction of a traffic management center to the simulation. It holds a list of all applications and all induction loops and lane are detectors the TMC is responsible for.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;ServerRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction indicates the introduction of a server to the simulation. It holds a list of all applications.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping3&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;TrafficLightRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction indicates the introduction of a traffic light (group) to the simulation. It holds a traffic light group, which unites all traffic light signals used for one traffic light system.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;TrafficSignRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction indicates the introduction of a traffic sign.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;mappingadvanced&#34;&gt;mapping.advanced&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interactions in this package are still concerned with the mapping of vehicles but differ from simple simulation unit registration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Interaction name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Sent by&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;ScenarioTrafficLightRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction contains the phases and their duration of each traffic light in the simulation. This interaction shall be generated by the traffic simulators at start up (e.g. SUMO)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Sumo&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;Phabmacs&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;ScenarioVehicleRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is used to add vehicles to a simulation using a preconfigured scenario, which could be defined by using Sumo.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Sumo(Scenario)&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;RoutelessVehicleRegistration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is sent the vehicle mapping component to indicate the introduction of a new vehicle whose route is not yet known. This interaction is usually handled by the &lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;-ambassador, which calculates a route for the given vehicle and sends out an VehicleRegistration-interaction afterwards.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;communication&#34;&gt;communication&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This package contains interactions regarding the setup of communication-components in simulation units and interactions concerned with the transfer of V2X-messages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Interaction name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Sent by&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;AdHocCommunicationConfiguration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is intended to be used to exchange information about the configuration of a vehicle’s ad-hoc communication facilities.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;CellularCommunicationConfiguration&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is intended to be used to exchange information about the configuration of a vehicle’s cellular communication facilities.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interactions related to V2X-message transfer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Interaction name&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Sent by&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;V2xMessageAcknowledgement&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is used by a communication simulator to inform about success or failure of a packet transmission. Typically, the application simulator should subscribe to this interaction.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Cell&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;V2xMessageReception&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is intended to be used to exchange information about a received V2X message.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Omnet++&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;ns-3&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;SimpleNetworkSimulator&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;cell&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;V2xFullMessageReception&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction carries the payload that represents an arbitrary V2XMessage that is supposed to be received by the receiver of this Eclipse MOSAIC Interaction.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Omnet++&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;ns-3&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;SimpleNetworkSimulator&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;code&gt;Cell&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;V2xMessageRemoval&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is intended to be used to exchange information about  V2X messages, that are to be deleted.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction is used to change a route for vehicle by its id. It can be assumed that the given route id has been propagated by either a VehicleRoutesInitialization- or VehicleRouteRegistration-interaction.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This interaction initiates the vehicle to slow down in a given interval. The request should be handled by traffic simulators. The name &amp;lsquo;SlowDown&amp;rsquo; is inherited by Sumo and a little bit misleading, the speed can also be increased.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;Application&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

      <title>Application Ambassador - Implementation Details</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Application Simulator is completely implemented as an Eclipse MOSAIC Ambassador in Java. The main class &lt;code&gt;ApplicationAmbassador&lt;/code&gt; is
started by the RTI and creates different components, like the &lt;code&gt;SimulationKernel&lt;/code&gt; singleton or the &lt;code&gt;CentralNavigationComponent&lt;/code&gt;.
Subsequently, it will find all the Java Archive (JAR) files in the &lt;code&gt;application&lt;/code&gt; configuration directory, belonging to the currently started
scenario, and add their classes to the class path. These JARs contain the application classes. Furthermore, the ApplicationAmbassador is
registered as a handle for different Eclipse MOSAIC messages in the configuration file &lt;code&gt;etc/runtime.json&lt;/code&gt; in the Eclipse MOSAIC folder. After
initialization, the Application Simulator will receive these messages from Eclipse MOSAIC when they appear and perform corresponding actions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;node-creation&#34;&gt;Node Creation&lt;/h3&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-application-simulator-basic-flow--node-creation-classes&#34;&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;

    Application Simulator basic flow / node creation classes
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Application classes are only instantiated when a node, carrying that application, is created. This is signaled by messages for node creation
like (&lt;code&gt;AddedVehicle,AddedRsu,AddedTrafficLight&lt;/code&gt;, &amp;hellip;). When the &lt;code&gt;Mapping&lt;/code&gt; ambassador spawns a new node, it will send those messages to the
RTI. The message then contains the fully qualified names of all applications associated with the spawned node, as well as the vehicle type
itself.  Depending on this type, the Application Simulator creates a new &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit&lt;/code&gt; object (i.e. a subclass of &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit&lt;/code&gt; like
&lt;code&gt;Vehicle&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;RoadSideUnit&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;TrafficLight&lt;/code&gt;), representing the new node. This task is served by the &lt;code&gt;UnitSimulatorclass&lt;/code&gt;, which performs
book keeping of all &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnits&lt;/code&gt;. Upon Creation of a node, the &lt;code&gt;UnitSimulator&lt;/code&gt; will schedule an event to start all applications,
belonging to the new node. The required information is saved in a &lt;code&gt;StartApplications&lt;/code&gt; object, which also includes a &lt;code&gt;ApplicationUnit&lt;/code&gt;
object, an abstract representation of a node (a.k.a. unit) having at least one application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, as, for example, SUMO does not simulate vehicles strictly from their creation on, but only since their first movement, Applications
for vehicles cannot be started directly upon an &lt;code&gt;AddedVehicle&lt;/code&gt; message. Instead, every added vehicle will be kept in the &lt;code&gt;addedVehicles&lt;/code&gt;
Map, until a &lt;code&gt;VehicleMovements&lt;/code&gt; message, belonging to that vehicle is processed. The vehicle will then be added by the &lt;code&gt;UnitSimulator&lt;/code&gt;
like any other node.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;other-messages-and-time-advance&#34;&gt;Other Messages and Time Advance&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apart from the ones for node creation, there are many other messages (see 


&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/interactions/&#34;&gt;
    Interaction
&lt;/a&gt;
),
signaling events to the Application Simulator. For most of them, an event in the future will be programmed, such that the implied action is
carried out at that simulation time. The processing of the events happens when the RTI calls the &lt;code&gt;advanceTime()&lt;/code&gt; method on the ambassador.
Upon this, Application Simulator will obtain a list of all events up to the new time and let the processor of the event process them. Every
potential event processor implements the &lt;code&gt;EventProcessor&lt;/code&gt; interface. The corresponding method is the &lt;code&gt;advanceTime()&lt;/code&gt; method of
&lt;code&gt;ApplicationAmbassador&lt;/code&gt;, which calls &lt;code&gt;scheduleEvents()&lt;/code&gt; on the event scheduler. Subsequently, some interesting messages and their
handling process is sketched shortly:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Message&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;VehicleUpdates&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;Signals that a vehicle has moved.  The &lt;code&gt;Vehicle&lt;/code&gt; object, which is a subclass of &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit&lt;/code&gt;, that corresponds to the moved vehicle will be updated to contain the new position. The new information is encapsulated in a &lt;code&gt;VehicleInfo&lt;/code&gt; object, containing different vehicle data. To update the data, an event is scheduled at the given time and processed upon time advance. Vehicles not yet added to the simulation (see 


&lt;a href=&#34;#node-creation&#34;&gt;
    Node Creation
&lt;/a&gt;
), are added by calling &lt;code&gt;addVehicleIfNotYetAdded()&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;MessageReceiption&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;This message represents the reception of a V2X-message by a simulated node. The &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit&lt;/code&gt; with the id saved in the &lt;code&gt;ReceivedV2XMessage&lt;/code&gt; object is scheduled for the processing of the message at the given simulation time. When simulation time reaches the reception time, the &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit&lt;/code&gt; will obtain the message from the message cache and hand it to all applications that implement the &lt;code&gt;CommunicationApplication&lt;/code&gt; interface in the method &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit.processReceiveV2XMessage()&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;&lt;code&gt;ApplicationInteraction&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td style=&#34;text-align:left&#34;&gt;While most other messages are specific to the a &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit&lt;/code&gt;, that then forwards the event to its applications, the &lt;code&gt;ApplicationSpecificMessage&lt;/code&gt; is directly handed to all applications.  Thereby, the &lt;code&gt;SimulationUnit&lt;/code&gt;, whose applications shall receive the message can be specified. If this is not done, all applications of all units will get the message and have the opportunity to handle it.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

      <title>Sumo Ambassador Implementation</title>
      <link>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/sumo_ambassador_details/</link>
      <pubDate>Sun, 05 May 2019 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
      <guid>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/sumo_ambassador_details/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) simulator is an open source microscopic, multi-modal traf-
fic simulation package which is developed by the Institute of Transportation research at the German
Aerospace Centre. It is designed to handle large road networks faster than real-time. Each vehicle has
an own route and is simulated individually. To simulate the movements of the vehicles on the network,
a model is used that uses discrete time steps of e.g. 1 s. Thousands of vehicles can be simulated in real
time on a desktop PC, including simulation of traffic lights, right-of-way rules, and lane changing models.
Simulations can either run via the command line or are visualized using the openGL-API (SUMO-GUI).
SUMO networks are created by importing other formats, such as OpenStreetMap data, Shapefiles or
TIGE-maps; or by generating artificial networks. Furthermore, vehicle routes, based on different routing
paradigms, can be computed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;sumo-and-eclipse-mosaic&#34;&gt;SUMO and Eclipse MOSAIC&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have integrated the traffic simulator SUMO to be able to simulate heterogeneous driving vehicles and a set of vehicles that have a predefined routes based on an imported roadmap. Additionally, during
the runtime of a simulation, it is possible that routes of simulated vehicles are changed and that vehicle positions are extracted at arbitrary points in time. The integration of SUMO into a Eclipse MOSAIC based simulation is illustrated in the following figure. The integrated Traffic Control Interface (TraCI) Server offers an interface to exchange commands and positions using a socket interface with a proprietary byte protocol. Analogous to the TraCI Server, a TraCI Client is implemented that is integrated in an ambassador implementing the TraCI protocol. Therefore, SUMO can be integrated without modifications.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-sumo-connected-to-eclipse-mosaic&#34;&gt;


  &lt;a data-fancybox=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;../images/sumo-connected-to-mosaic.jpeg&#34; data-caption=&#34;SUMO connected to Eclipse MOSAIC&#34;&gt;


  &lt;img src=&#34;../images/sumo-connected-to-mosaic.jpeg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;  &gt;
&lt;/a&gt;


  &lt;figcaption data-pre=&#34;Figure &#34; data-post=&#34;:&#34; class=&#34;numbered&#34;&gt;
    SUMO connected to Eclipse MOSAIC
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During a simulation run, per default SUMO is paused and TraCI is listening for commands. After each
advanced time grant, SUMO offers the new vehicle positions which are broadcast by its ambassador
to other federates. Furthermore, if the ambassador receives a request to change the route of a specific
vehicle, it is forwarded to SUMO. Thus, at the next time-advancement, the new route is integrated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;simulation-of-vehicles&#34;&gt;Simulation of Vehicles&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For each vehicle which has been defined in the mapping configuration, a &lt;code&gt;VehicleRegistration&lt;/code&gt; interaction is sent
to the &lt;code&gt;SumoAmbassador&lt;/code&gt; which adds those vehicles to the simulation via TraCI. Furthermore, vehicle
data is subscribed which is updated with every simulation step. After each step of the simulation this
data is bundled into a &lt;code&gt;VehicleInfo&lt;/code&gt; object which is distributed among other ambassadors within the
&lt;code&gt;VehicleUpdates&lt;/code&gt; interaction. The following data is available for each vehicle:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Position&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Speed, Acceleration, Heading, Slope&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;State of vehicle signals (e.g. turn indicators)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Emission dispersion (CO2, NOX, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fuel consumption&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Information about the road the vehicle is driving on (road position)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Id of the route&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;traffic-lights-in-sumo&#34;&gt;Traffic lights in SUMO&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Depending on which light is active (red, yellow or green), every traffic light got different phases. In theory,
any combination of dis- or enabled lights is possible, but SUMO only handles combinations which make
sense. In SUMOs traffic light concept every traffic light got a bitset of the status of each phase. Every
bitset is a combination as mentioned above. When a car approaches a junction, it gets the actual bitset
(combination) of the traffic light. To explain the code, an example is given:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-xml&#34;&gt;&amp;lt;tl-logic type=&amp;quot;static&amp;quot;&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;key&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;/key&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;subkey&amp;gt;my program&amp;lt;/subkey&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phaseno&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/phaseno&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;offset&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;/offset&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;31&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;GGggrrrrGGggrrrr&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;yyggrrrryyggrrrr&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;6&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;rrGGrrrrrrGGrrrr&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;rryyrrrrrryyrrrr&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;31&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;rrrrGGggrrrrGGgg&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;rrrryyggrrrryygg&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;6&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;rrrrrrGGrrrrrrGG&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;phase duration=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot; state=&amp;quot;rrrrrryyrrrrrryy&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/tl-logic&amp;gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This example shows the traffic light program of one junction. It shows the different status’ of each light
of each traffic signal, which are positioned on the junction. In this example every string of a phase e.g.
&amp;ldquo;GGggrrrrGGggrrrr&amp;rdquo; (first phase) got 16 characters. Every char stands for one light on the junction. On
this junction are four traffic lights with four signals each. To understand the different status of each light
in one period (8 phases) the program should be read from top to the bottom. It is possible to change or
create your own program by editing the .net file with the tool Netedit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;handling-of-traffic-lights-in-eclipse-mosaic&#34;&gt;Handling of traffic lights in Eclipse MOSAIC&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the TraCI connection has been established, all available traffic light groups are read out of SUMO via
TraCI. This information is packed into the three classes &lt;code&gt;TrafficLightGroup&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;TrafficLightSignal&lt;/code&gt;,
and &lt;code&gt;TrafficLightPhase&lt;/code&gt;. While a traffic light group contains a list of signals which control one intersec-
tion (which can consist of several nodes), a list of all existing traffic light groups is sent to the RTI via a
&lt;code&gt;ScenarioTrafficLightRegistration&lt;/code&gt; interaction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;traci-client-implementation&#34;&gt;TraCI Client Implementation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SumoAmbassador communicates with the federate (SUMO process) via TraCI. In this socket based
communication protocol, the server (SUMO) listens to commands and responds accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each message send to SUMO consist of a header and the command or result message, according to the
following scheme:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; 0                7 8                15
+--------------------------------------+
| Message Length including this header |
+--------------------------------------+
|      (Message Length, continued)     |
+--------------------------------------+  \
|      Length      |    Identifier     |  |
+--------------------------------------+   &amp;gt; Command / Result_0
|      Command / Result_0 content      |  |

+--------------------------------------+   &amp;gt; Command / Result_n -1
|     Command / Result_n-1 content     |  |
+--------------------------------------+  /
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A more detailed description can be found here:

    http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI/Protocol
&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;commands&#34;&gt;Commands&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each TraCI command is identified by an command identifier. For example, the command 0xC4 is used to
change the state of a vehicle. Most of the commands need further specification, such as the parameter of
the vehicle which is required to be changed. Those parameters are usually accessed by variable identifiers
(e.g. 0x40 addresses the speed of an entity). A full list of commands and variables supported by TraCI can
be found here: 


&lt;a href=&#34;http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;
    http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI
&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is an example of a command message to change the speed of the vehicle &amp;ldquo;veh_0&amp;rdquo; to 14m/s:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt; 0                 7 8                 15                23 24               31
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                             25 (Message length)                             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|    21 (Length)    |  0xC4 (Command)  |   0x40 (Variable) |       
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
             5 (String length as 4 Byte Integer)           |        &amp;quot;v&amp;quot;       |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|        &amp;quot;e&amp;quot;        |        &amp;quot;h&amp;quot;       |        &amp;quot;_&amp;quot;        |        &amp;quot;0&amp;quot;       |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 0x0B (Double type)|                   40.0 (8 Byte Double) 
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
             
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+  
                    |
+-------------------+
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;abstracttracicommand&#34;&gt;AbstractTraciCommand&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the TraCI client implementation of the &lt;code&gt;SumoAmbassador&lt;/code&gt;, the whole construction of messages is done in
the class &lt;code&gt;AbstractTraciCommand&lt;/code&gt;. The message header containing the message and command lengths
is constructed automatically as well as all parameters defined by the specific command. To achieve this,
each class which extends the &lt;code&gt;AbstractTraciCommand&lt;/code&gt; needs to define the command, the variable and
all parameters which are required for the specific command:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-java&#34;&gt;protected VehicleSetSpeed() {
    super(TraciVersion.LOWEST);

    write()
        .command(0xC4)                // = change vehicle state
        .variable(0x04)               // = set speed of entity
        .writeStringParam()           // = vehicle id
        .writeDoubleParamWithType();  // = speed value
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This example shows the command implementation for setting the speed for a vehicle. In the constructor,
the write methods provides a builder-like construct allowing to define the command, the variable, and all
parameters which are later passed dynamically to the command. Here, the command is specified as &lt;code&gt;0xC4&lt;/code&gt; (= change vehicle state) and the variable as &lt;code&gt;0x04&lt;/code&gt; (= speed of the entity). Furthermore, two parameters are
defined: The first string parameter represents the ID of the vehicle, the second double parameter defines
the speed value to be set (according to 


&lt;a href=&#34;http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI/Change_Vehicle_State&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&gt;
    http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI/Change_Vehicle_State
&lt;/a&gt;
).
Note, the order of the specified command contents is from crucial importance. E.g. the &lt;code&gt;command&lt;/code&gt; must
always be specified before the &lt;code&gt;variable&lt;/code&gt;, and the variable before all parameters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All parameters defined in the constructor (here: &lt;code&gt;[String, Double]&lt;/code&gt; ), need to be assigned with values
as soon as the command is executed. For this purpose, the command implementation needs to call the
method execute of the super class with the parameter values in the specified order:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-java&#34;&gt;public void setSpeed(Bridge bridge, String vehicleId, double speedValue) {
    super.execute(bridge, vehicleId, value);
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Within the execute method, the &lt;code&gt;AbstractTraciCommand&lt;/code&gt; constructs the whole message and sends it to
the TraCI server (SUMO). Furthermore, the &lt;code&gt;AbstractTraciCommand&lt;/code&gt; also reads the response, extracts the
status of the response (successful or error) and reads all values returned by the server. Usually, commands
which changes the state of an entity only (like &lt;code&gt;VehicleSetSpeed&lt;/code&gt;) do not respond with complex results.
However, a command which wants to retrieve a value of an entity needs to read out the result from the
response (e.g. &lt;code&gt;VehicleGetRouteId&lt;/code&gt; which returns the current route identifier of the vehicle). For this
purpose, each command needs to specify how the response should be handled:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-java&#34;&gt;protected VehicleGetRouteId() {
    super(TraciVersion.LOWEST);

    write()
        .command(0xA4)      // = retrieve vehicle state
        .variable(0x53)     // = route id of entity
        .writeStringParam(); // = write vehicle id

    read()
        .skipBytes(2)          // = skip command and variable in response
        .skipString()          // = skip vehicle id, not relevant
        .readStringWithType(); // = read route id
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This example shows the command implementation for getting the route id of a vehicle. As well as &lt;code&gt;write&lt;/code&gt;,
the method &lt;code&gt;read&lt;/code&gt; returns a builder-like construct which provides methods to define how the response is
handled. Here, the first two bytes of the response should be skipped, as well as the string which follows
afterwards. The value the command is interested in is the following string value which holds the id of
the route. By using the method &lt;code&gt;readStringWithType&lt;/code&gt; the string is read out and is passed to the method
&lt;code&gt;constructResult&lt;/code&gt; which needs to be implemented by the command as well:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-java&#34;&gt;public String getRouteId(Bridge bridge, String vehicle) {
    return super.executeAndReturn(bridge, vehicle);
}

@Override
protected String constructResult(Status status, Object... objects) { 
    return (String) objects[0];
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this simple case, the result of the command consists of one result object only (the route id). Therefore,
it is just extracted from the array of result objects and directly returned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;writing-parameters&#34;&gt;Writing parameters&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to write parameters and read results according to the specification of the protocol, several reader
and writer implementations exist. For parameters to be written in the command various writers exists
to write single bytes, strings, integers, and doubles, or special writers for writing lists. The same is for
readers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the following example, the IntegerTraciWriter is shown:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-java&#34;&gt;public class IntegerTraciWriter extends AbstractTraciParameterWriter&amp;lt;Integer&amp;gt; {

    public IntegerTraciWriter() {
        super(4); 
    }

    public IntegerTraciWriter(int value) {
        super(4, value); 
    }

    @Override
    public int getVariableLength(Integer argument) {
        return getLength();
    }

    @Override
    public void write(DataOutputStream out) throws IOException {
        out.writeInt(value);
    }

    @Override
    public void writeVariableArgument(DataOutputStream out, Integer argument) {
        out.writeInt(argument);
    }
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each writer has two tasks. Firstly, it needs to determine the length of the parameter value. For example,
an integer parameter is always 4 bytes long, whereas the length of a string parameter depends on the
size of the argument. Therefore, each writer needs to be able to determine the variable length according
to a given value. Secondly, it needs to write out the actual value into the &lt;code&gt;DataOutputStream&lt;/code&gt; (which
represents the channel to the TraCI server). Furthermore is each writer able to write fixed values, such as
the command identifier which does not change, or variable arguments, such as the vehicle id.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;reading-results&#34;&gt;Reading results&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the following example, the IntegerTraciReader is shown:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-java&#34;&gt;public class IntegerTraciReader extends AbstractTraciResultReader&amp;lt;Integer&amp;gt; {

    public IntegerTraciReader() {
        super(null);
    }

    public IntegerTraciReader(Matcher&amp;lt;Integer&amp;gt; matcher) {
        super(matcher);
    }

    @Override
    protected Integer readFromStream(DataInputStream in) throws IOException {
        return readInt(in);
    }
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A reader has three tasks. Firstly, it reads out a value from the &lt;code&gt;DataInputStream&lt;/code&gt; (which represents the
response channel to the TraCI client) according to the protocol specification. For example, an integer
can be read out directly, while a string requires several single reading operations. Secondly, the reader
needs to take track of the number of bytes it has read in total. To achieve this it is recommended to use
the provided methods of the super class, such as &lt;code&gt;readInt&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;readString&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;readByte&lt;/code&gt; .However, if values
need to be read directly from the DataInputStream, the protected field &lt;code&gt;numBytesRead&lt;/code&gt; must always be
increased accordingly. Thirdly, the reader needs to define if the read out value fulfils certain requirements.
Such requirement can be, that a certain value is expected. In this case, a matcher might be passed to the
super constructor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;accessing-the-commands&#34;&gt;Accessing the commands&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For each command, only one object should be instantiated during runtime. To achieve this, the
&lt;code&gt;CommandRegister&lt;/code&gt; is used. This class stores a command once it is created returns only one instance per
command class:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-java&#34;&gt;final RouteAdd routeAddCommand = commandRegister.getOrCreate(RouteAdd.class);
//... do something
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, commands should not be accessed directly in the code, but rather using the various facades
available:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;RouteFacade&lt;/code&gt; - Route specific command calls, such as addRoute and getRouteEdges .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;SimulationFacade&lt;/code&gt; - Provides methods to control the simulation, such as simulateStep .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;TrafficLightFacade&lt;/code&gt; - Provides methods to get or set values for traffic lights.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;VehicleFacade&lt;/code&gt; - Provides methods to get or set values for vehicles.
All those facades can be accessed via the &lt;code&gt;TraciClientBridge&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;exception-handling&#34;&gt;Exception handling&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Exceptions are thrown and handled as following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a command results in a status response with the status code Error, a &lt;code&gt;TraciCommandException&lt;/code&gt;
is thrown. If this exception is thrown, the TraCI connection is still alive and can be used for
further commands. The facades decide how to handle this exception then and may throw an
&lt;code&gt;InternalFederateException&lt;/code&gt; or log a warning message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a command could not be written properly, or the result could not be read out as wished, an
&lt;code&gt;InternalFederateException&lt;/code&gt; is thrown and an &lt;code&gt;Emergency Exit&lt;/code&gt; is initiated, which eventually
shuts down the TraCI connection. This also happens if a reader or writer throws any kind of
Exception.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;version-handling&#34;&gt;Version handling&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With future releases of SUMO new TraCI commands will emerge. To achieve downward compatibility
each command can define the lowest TraCI Version it supports. For example, a command which was
introduced with SUMO 0.30.0 and is annotated accordingly, would be skipped automatically if the version
of the TraCI server is lower. However, this concept has not been tested yet properly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;libsumo-coupling-implementation&#34;&gt;LibSumo Coupling Implementation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next to the coupling implementation using TraCI, there is a second implementation integrating
LibSumo via Java Native Interface (JNI). It is possible to easily switch the coupling method using
either &lt;code&gt;TraciClientBridge&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;LibSumoBridge&lt;/code&gt; as the &lt;code&gt;Bridge&lt;/code&gt; implementation. This replaces all
commands to get or set values in the SUMO simulation. The &lt;code&gt;CommandRegister&lt;/code&gt; is either initialized
using the &lt;code&gt;&amp;quot;libsumo&amp;quot;&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;&amp;quot;traci&amp;quot;&lt;/code&gt; package to load the command implementations. All the Facades
(&lt;code&gt;SimulationFacade&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;VehicleFacade&lt;/code&gt; etc.) which contain all the actual &amp;ldquo;business&amp;rdquo; logic, remain untouched.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The introduction of new commands requires the implementation of these three items:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Interface in &lt;code&gt;org.eclipse.mosaic.fed.sumo.bridge.api&lt;/code&gt; package&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Implementation of TraCI command in package &lt;code&gt;org.eclipse.mosaic.fed.sumo.bridge.traci&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Implementation of LibSumo command in package &lt;code&gt;org.eclipse.mosaic.fed.sumo.bridge.libsumo&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the code in the facades should always work with the interfaces from the &lt;code&gt;org.eclipse.mosaic.fed.sumo.bridge.api&lt;/code&gt; package.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>OMNeT&#43;&#43; Federate Implementation</title>
      <link>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/omnetpp_details/</link>
      <pubDate>Sun, 05 May 2019 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
      <guid>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/omnetpp_details/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The OMNeT++ Federate design is based on a microsimulation where every participating vehicle respectively
node is individually modeled and simulated and all entities are clued together in a scenario with
one instance the manages the interaction between them. That means at first the internals of one node
are introduced which incorporate mainly the communication stack and a mobility model. Afterwards,
especially the scenario management is presented which builds up on the individual nodes and controls
the major part of the simulation. These both aspects are in similar way needed for most mobile communication
simulation with OMNeT++ even in an isolated setup. However, specifically for interaction and
synchronization with the other simulators in the Eclipse MOSAIC environment, a third pillar is necessary. This
scheduler module is very important for the system as it implements the time management and event
scheduling according to Eclipse MOSAIC specific concepts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;node-internals&#34;&gt;Node Internals&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main part of the node model consists of the communication stack. The submodules for communication
are adopted from the INET framework. All
modules are linked together to a compound module using the &lt;code&gt;NED&lt;/code&gt; language. The following figure depicts the node architecture.
The concept currently supports two different
kinds of nodes for Vehicles and RSUs, while V2X-based traffic lights are treated as RSUs. For the first
approach these two kinds of nodes have the equal construction in terms of modules. The difference at the
moment is that they can be configured with different values for parameters in the &lt;code&gt;omnetpp.ini&lt;/code&gt; e.g. that Vehicles and RSUs
have a different antenna height which is important for Two Ray Ground ReflectionModel.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-architecture-of-one-node&#34;&gt;


  &lt;a data-fancybox=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;../images/implementation_vehicle.png&#34; data-caption=&#34;Architecture of one Node&#34;&gt;


  &lt;img src=&#34;../images/implementation_vehicle.png&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;600px&#34; &gt;
&lt;/a&gt;


  &lt;figcaption data-pre=&#34;Figure &#34; data-post=&#34;:&#34; class=&#34;numbered&#34;&gt;
    Architecture of one Node
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;h5 id=&#34;communication-stack&#34;&gt;Communication Stack&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The right part of the block diagram in the figure above depicts the communication stack. It is based on the
module &lt;code&gt;Ieee80211&lt;/code&gt;, which is a compound module itself and covers the complete IEEE 802.11 network interface
card with the &lt;code&gt;MAC&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;PHY&lt;/code&gt; Layer and the &lt;code&gt;Radio Channel&lt;/code&gt;. The configuration of different values for
standard parameters e.g. the PHY bit rate or size of the contention window of the MAC can be exchanged
within the &lt;code&gt;omnetpp.ini&lt;/code&gt;-file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(&lt;em&gt;Please
note that the configuration allows different values for each kind of nodes and hence it is possible to
configure another propagation model or carrier frequency for Vehicles compared to RSUs. Even if
the possibility for such a configuration exists, it should be avoided and common parameters should
consistently be configured twice with the same value.&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next module in the communication stack is the &lt;code&gt;NetworkLayer&lt;/code&gt;. Once again it is a compound module
and already a collection of most important IPv4 protocols as well as the Interface- and RoutingTables.
The NetworkLayer is also the home of the Routing Protocol, which could be e.g. GPSR. Yet, at the current
status, the implementation focusses on single hop communication, meaning the NetworkLayer mainly
forwards messages for 255.255.255.255-broadcast adresses from the TransportLayer to the MAC Layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;TransportLayer&lt;/code&gt; of the communication stack is made up of UDP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The module &lt;code&gt;MosaicProxyApp&lt;/code&gt; of Application Layer is the entry point for application messages for the communication stack.
It is triggered by the Eclipse MOSAIC ScenarioManager
to send new messages to lower layers and forwards received messages back to the ScenarioManager
upon reception. The main tasks are generally acting as an application within the scope of OMNeT++ and
encapsulating the message contents to packets to prepare them for sending.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 id=&#34;mobility-model&#34;&gt;Mobility Model&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second important component of the node is the mobility module &lt;code&gt;MosaicMobility&lt;/code&gt;, which extends
the BasicMobility. Unlike other mobility models as RandomWaypoint it does not generate node movements
itself and has a straight static character. Node position updates are always triggered by the Eclipse MOSAIC
ScenarioManager. Hence,mobility is completely controlled by Eclipse MOSAIC and in turn by the coupled traffic
simulator.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;simulation-setup&#34;&gt;Simulation Setup&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The setup of the complete simulation is illustrated in the following Figure. From the view of OMNeT++,
the simulation is a network (&lt;code&gt;Scenario.ned&lt;/code&gt;), which has a dynamic topology and is referenced as the simulated network
in the omnetpp.ini-file for configuration. The ini-file gives access to all parameters which are offered
to be configured by the included simple modules. The parameters are referred to by their hierarchical
names with the simulated network as root module. As it is possible to assign already default values for
parameters in the modules NED file, not every parameter needs to be configured in the ini-file. The
simulation consists of basically three parts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;

    Architecture of the whole Simulation Scenario
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;h5 id=&#34;simulated-nodes&#34;&gt;Simulated Nodes&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obviously the major part of the simulation is dedicated to the nodes. They are compound modules either
from type &lt;code&gt;Vehicle&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;RSU&lt;/code&gt; and have the properties as described in the previous section. The number
of nodes in the simulation can vary over simulation time and is dynamically managed by the Eclipse MOSAIC
ScenarioManager.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 id=&#34;ieee80211scalarradiomedium&#34;&gt;Ieee80211ScalarRadioMedium&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;Ieee80211ScalarRadioMedium&lt;/code&gt; basically models the broadcast communication channel between the Radio Channel
sub module (in Ieee80211 Nic) for each node and thus enables the actual V2X message transmission between the nodes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 id=&#34;mosaicscenariomanager&#34;&gt;MosaicScenarioManager&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;MosaicScenarioManager&lt;/code&gt; is used as the central
management instance to enhance simple configurations to simulate more sophisticated scenarios. The
general tasks of the MosaicScenarioManager contain the simulation start up with initialization of the
&lt;code&gt;MosaicEventScheduler&lt;/code&gt; (detailed later) and controlled simulation shut down, and most important during simulation
the management of node mobility and V2X communication, which are triggered by Eclipse MOSAIC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Mobility Management&lt;/strong&gt; is responsible for administration of simulated nodes and their mobility.
This includes introducing nodes to simulation, updating node positions and removing nodes from
simulation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The node introduction method is triggered by Eclipse MOSAIC with the commands &lt;code&gt;ADD_NODES&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;ADD_RSU_NODES&lt;/code&gt; respectively. It adds the node according to its node id to the managed modules and creates the complete compound module. Important for later message handling is the setup of connections to the dedicated Eclipse MOSAIC App, which is done via so called gates. At the moment, the Eclipse MOSAIC Apps are statically initialized, but the concept is suitable to be extended later when other transport protocols and in turn
applications have to be simulated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon &lt;code&gt;MOVE_NODE&lt;/code&gt; command, which contains the affected node id and new position to be updated, the
node is moved via the &lt;code&gt;MosaicMobility&lt;/code&gt; module.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At last the &lt;code&gt;REMOVE_NODE&lt;/code&gt; command indicates that a node leaves the simulation. On this event, the according node is deleted and unregistered from managed modules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;CommunicationManagement&lt;/strong&gt; controls the configuration of the Radio during runtime as well as the sending and receiving of V2X messages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;SEND_V2X_MESSAGE&lt;/code&gt; command initiates the sending process. It contains the sender node id and
the transport protocol. Thus the MosaicScenarioManager can select the according Eclipse MOSAIC app at the according node.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a message from another node successfully arrives at the ProxyApplication, the MosaicScenarioManager
is notified by the according node. Then, it sets up a &lt;code&gt;RECV_V2X_MESSAGE&lt;/code&gt; which is sent back
to Eclipse MOSAIC via the MosaicEventScheduler. This intermediate step is introduced, since the MosaicEventScheduler is the only instance, which is connected to Eclipse MOSAIC and which knows when it is safe to
receive and send interactions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;simulator-coupling&#34;&gt;Simulator Coupling&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OMNeT++ is connected to Eclipse MOSAIC according to the concept of high-level-architecture (HLA). That
means that the OMNeT++ simulation program itself is encapsulated in the OMNeT++ federate. To
enable the coupling according to Eclipse MOSAIC concept, two components needed to be developed. First, the
OMNeT++ federate is extended with the customized Eclipse MOSAIC EventScheduler, which can receive and
send interactions forMobility and CommunicationManagement. The second component is the OMNeT++
Ambassador that can handle on the one hand the OMNeT++ specific connection and on the other
hand the well-defined interface to Eclipse MOSAIC. The emphasis of both components lies in the synchronized
exchange of interactions i.e. a time management mechanism must be jointly realized by them. For this
purpose the conservative synchronization mechanism is implemented. The following figure gives an overview
of the included compenents.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-overview-of-simulator-coupling&#34;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;h5 id=&#34;eclipse-mosaic-eventscheduler&#34;&gt;Eclipse MOSAIC EventScheduler&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;MosaicEventScheduler&lt;/code&gt; extends the standard scheduler of OMNeT++ to be able to implement the time management for
synchronization with Eclipse MOSAIC. It is the only module in OMNeT++ which has access to the event queue or Future Event Set (FES). Since the OMNeT++ simulation
is an event driven simulation the scheduler has to fulfill two tasks. The first task is the actual scheduling
part which is always invoked by the simulation kernel to schedule the next event. It allows all events from
the FES to be processed up to the granted logical time $T$. If there are only events with a later time $T&#39;$ than
$T$ left in the FES, it sends the Next Event Request (NER) to the OMNeT++ Ambassador at Eclipse MOSAIC side and
blocks the OMNeT++ simulation. Then the second task comes into operation. If necessary, it coordinates
the Receive Interaction procedure and merges the external events from Eclipse MOSAIC and hence from other
federates to the internal FES. Events with the same time stamp are ordered to the FES according to first
come first serve mechanism. Note that the handling of these simultaneous events is generally important
to ensure repeatable execution of simulations. The decision about ordering is in control of the federate
itself, since the RTI does not sufficiently have the information to do this. After the Receive Interaction
step, the RTI completes the time management cycle with the Time Advance Grant for $T&#39;$. At this point the
scheduler can set its logical time to $T = T&#39;$ and unblock the further processing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally the &lt;code&gt;MosaicEventScheduler&lt;/code&gt; provides the service for other modules to send interactions back
to the OMNeT++ Ambassador, since it is also the one module which is connected to Eclipse MOSAIC. Currently,
this is used by the Eclipse MOSAIC ScenarioManager to report the &lt;code&gt;RECEIVE_V2X_MESSAGES&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 id=&#34;eclipse-mosaic-omnet-federate-development&#34;&gt;Eclipse MOSAIC OMNeT++ Federate Development&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This section provides a description how to set up the &lt;strong&gt;OMNeT++ IDE&lt;/strong&gt; for the Eclipse MOSAIC OMNeT++ Federate Development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At this point it is awaited, that the 


&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/mosaic/docs/simulators/network_simulator_omnetpp/&#34;&gt;
    OMNeT++ Federate
&lt;/a&gt;
 is successfully installed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 id=&#34;prepare-omnet-ide&#34;&gt;Prepare OMNeT++ IDE&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create an empty directory somewhere inside your home directory. We will call it &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;omnetpp_workspace&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; from here on. This directory will be used as a workspace in your OMNeT++ IDE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open your OMNeT++ IDE by executing &lt;code&gt;omnetpp&lt;/code&gt; in your terminal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Select &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;omnetpp_workspace&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; as workspace and continue by clicking &lt;code&gt;Launch&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Close the &amp;ldquo;Welcome&amp;rdquo; screen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since your workspace is empty, the OMNeT++ IDE will ask you if you want to install the INET framework and OMNeT++ programming examples.&lt;br&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-omnet-ide-install-inet&#34;&gt;


  &lt;a data-fancybox=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;../images/omnetpp-ide-install-inet.png&#34; data-caption=&#34;OMNeT&amp;#43;&amp;#43; IDE: Install INET&#34;&gt;


  &lt;img src=&#34;../images/omnetpp-ide-install-inet.png&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;  &gt;
&lt;/a&gt;


  &lt;figcaption data-pre=&#34;Figure &#34; data-post=&#34;:&#34; class=&#34;numbered&#34;&gt;
    OMNeT++ IDE: Install INET
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;

Decide by yourself if you want to do that:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;By clicking &lt;code&gt;OK&lt;/code&gt; the INET framework is going to be installed into an &lt;code&gt;inet&lt;/code&gt; folder in your &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;omnetpp_workspace&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you already have INET installed somewhere you can skip the installation and import your existing INET project:
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;Cancel&lt;/code&gt; the dialog.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose &lt;code&gt;File&lt;/code&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;code&gt;Open Projects from File System...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the new window choose the directory of your existing INET installation as &lt;code&gt;Import Source&lt;/code&gt; and click &lt;code&gt;Finish&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The project &lt;code&gt;inet&lt;/code&gt; should now be visible in the &lt;code&gt;Project Explorer&lt;/code&gt; of your OMNeT++ IDE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right-click on free space in the &lt;code&gt;Project Explorer&lt;/code&gt; and choose &lt;code&gt;New&lt;/code&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;code&gt;OMNeT++ Project...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click &lt;code&gt;Next&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the following &lt;code&gt;Initial Contents&lt;/code&gt; page select &lt;code&gt;Empty Project&lt;/code&gt; and continue by clicking &lt;code&gt;Finish&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You should now find two projects in the &lt;code&gt;Project Explorer&lt;/code&gt; of your OMNeT++ IDE: &lt;code&gt;inet&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;federate&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right-click on the &lt;code&gt;federate&lt;/code&gt; project and choose &lt;code&gt;Properties&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;code&gt;Project references&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;check&lt;/strong&gt; the box before &lt;code&gt;inet&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s it! None of the files should now be marked with an error symbol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h5 id=&#34;configure-rebuild-configuration&#34;&gt;Configure Rebuild Configuration&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the Eclipse MOSAIC OMNeT++ Federate is not a classic OMNeT++ project, it cannot be build regulary with
the OMNeT++ IDE by just clicking on the &lt;code&gt;Build&lt;/code&gt; button. However, to make the build process easy and intuitive
we provide a simple build script and the following desciption how to configure the OMNeT++ IDE to enable
building on a single click:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the OMNeT++ IDE select &lt;code&gt;Run&lt;/code&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;code&gt;External Tools&lt;/code&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;code&gt;External Tools Configuration...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Double-click in the left column on &lt;code&gt;Program&lt;/code&gt; to create a new configuration.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Call it &lt;code&gt;rebuild federate&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;code&gt;Main&lt;/code&gt; tab:
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Under &lt;code&gt;Location&lt;/code&gt; choose &lt;code&gt;Browse Workspace...&lt;/code&gt; and select &lt;code&gt;federate/rebuild_federate.sh&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Still in the &lt;code&gt;Main&lt;/code&gt; tab under &lt;code&gt;Working Directory&lt;/code&gt; choose &lt;code&gt;Browse Workspace...&lt;/code&gt; and select &lt;code&gt;federate&lt;/code&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-omnet-ide-build-configuration&#34;&gt;

  &lt;img src=&#34;../images/omnetpp-ide-build-config.png&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;  &gt;
&lt;/a&gt;

    OMNeT++ IDE Build Configuration
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;code&gt;Build&lt;/code&gt; tab &lt;strong&gt;uncheck&lt;/strong&gt; the box before &lt;code&gt;Build before launch&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-omnet-ide-build-configuration&#34;&gt;


  &lt;a data-fancybox=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;../images/omnetpp-ide-build-config-2.png&#34; data-caption=&#34;OMNeT&amp;#43;&amp;#43; IDE Build Configuration&#34;&gt;

    OMNeT++ IDE Build Configuration
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now you can &lt;code&gt;Apply&lt;/code&gt; your changes and click on &lt;code&gt;Run&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Since you have built the project at least once, you can rebuild it again by clicking here:&lt;br&gt;


&lt;figure id=&#34;figure-run-rebuild&#34;&gt;


  &lt;a data-fancybox=&#34;&#34; href=&#34;../images/omnetpp-ide-run-rebuild.png&#34; data-caption=&#34;Run rebuild&#34;&gt;

    Run rebuild
  &lt;/figcaption&gt;


&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The following video shows the above described steps:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;video controls &gt;

&lt;/video&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h5 id=&#34;configure-debug-configuration&#34;&gt;Configure Debug Configuration&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To debug the Eclipse MOSAIC OMNeT++ Federate during simulation you need to create a Debug Configuration. The following
instruction will tell you how to that:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In your OMNeT++ IDE choose &lt;code&gt;Run&lt;/code&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;code&gt;Debug Configurations...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the new window double-click on &lt;code&gt;OMNeT++ Simulation&lt;/code&gt; in the left column and name the new created debug configuration &lt;code&gt;federate&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;code&gt;Executable&lt;/code&gt; row check &lt;code&gt;other&lt;/code&gt; and type &lt;code&gt;/federate/federate&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;code&gt;Working dir&lt;/code&gt; row type &lt;code&gt;/federate&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;code&gt;Ini file(s)&lt;/code&gt; row type &lt;code&gt;debug.ini omnetpp.ini&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At the end of the page click on the &lt;code&gt;More &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; link. And make sure all fields in the &lt;code&gt;Advanced&lt;/code&gt; area are &lt;strong&gt;empty&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For &lt;code&gt;Projects to build&lt;/code&gt; select &lt;code&gt;Do not build automatically before launch&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now &lt;code&gt;Apply&lt;/code&gt; your changes and try your configuration by clicking &lt;code&gt;Debug&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The following images shows the final debug configuration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h1 id=&#34;the-omnet-ambassador&#34;&gt;The OMNeT++ Ambassador&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The OMNeT++ Ambassador is the intermediate component between OMNeT++ and Eclipse MOSAIC. As it
implements the interface of an abstract federate ambassador in Eclipse MOSAIC. In the initialization phase the
Ambassador applies for the TimeManagement policies time constrained and time regulated at the RTI.
Remind that time constrained means that the time advances of the OMNeT++ Federate are dependent on
the other simulators in the federation and time regulating means that the OMNeT++ Federate itself can
prevent other federates from advancing their time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The OMNeT++ simulation starts initially with an empty event queue and hence it needs to receive an
interaction to fill the event queue with the first events to be processed. That means that the typical time
management cycle in the Ambassador starts at step two with the Receive Interaction procedure. Note
that messages within Eclipse MOSAIC usually effect more than one interaction e.g. a VehicleUpdates interaction
contains information for added nodes and moved nodes. These are exchanged with OMNeT++ using a
simple byte protocol. After this procedure the third step of time management cycle is processed with
the initial Time Advance Grant. This is the point when the OMNeT++ simulation is able to start and the
initialization phase is finished. Hence the time management cycle can be executed from first step which
is waiting for a new NER until no federate requests further events and the simulation is finished.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Delay Models</title>
      <link>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/delay_models/</link>
      <pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
      <guid>https://www.eclipse.org/mosaic/docs/extending_mosaic/delay_models/</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;MOSAIC has different types of delays implemented for different use cases. This page will
give a short introduction into the types and their usages, as well as example configurations,
which are used throughout MOSAIC. The implementations can be
found in the package &lt;code&gt;org.eclipse.mosaic.lib.model.delay&lt;/code&gt;.
Note prior to the release of MOSAIC delay values were configured using Milliseconds as unit,
this has been refactored to Nanoseconds. Alternatively you can specify delay values using
a String with a unit (eg &lt;code&gt;&amp;quot;delay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;20 ms&amp;quot;&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;delay-models&#34;&gt;Delay Models&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;Delay&lt;/code&gt; class represents an implementation for a specific delay model. The following model implementation exist:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;constantdelay&#34;&gt;ConstantDelay&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;ConstantDelay&lt;/code&gt;-class is arguably the simplest implementation of &lt;code&gt;Delay&lt;/code&gt;. This model is configured with a single
field &lt;code&gt;delay&lt;/code&gt;, which the &lt;code&gt;generateDelay(...)&lt;/code&gt;-method will simply return.&lt;br&gt;
While this delay doesn&amp;rsquo;t provide realistic behaviour in most cases it is optimal for testing purposes as it
can easily be retraced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Configuration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-json&#34;&gt;&amp;quot;delay&amp;quot;: {
    &amp;quot;type&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;ConstantDelay&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;delay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;20 ms&amp;quot;
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;simplerandomdelay&#34;&gt;SimpleRandomDelay&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;SimpleRandomDelay&lt;/code&gt; model allows for the generated delays to be randomly distributed between a &lt;code&gt;minDelay&lt;/code&gt; and a &lt;code&gt;maxDelay&lt;/code&gt;.
Additionally, the &lt;code&gt;steps&lt;/code&gt; field is used to limit the amount of different delays, by equally separating the interval into
the amount of steps specified. This delay provides a simple and performant way to randomize and thereby more realistically reflect real-world delays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, with the configuration below, one of the following delays is randomly chosen: &lt;code&gt;[0.4, 0.9, 1.4, 1.9, 2.4] ms&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Configuration:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-json&#34;&gt;&amp;quot;delay&amp;quot;: {
    &amp;quot;type&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;SimpleRandomDelay&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;steps&amp;quot;: 5,
    &amp;quot;minDelay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;0.4 ms&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;maxDelay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;2.4 ms&amp;quot;
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;h3 id=&#34;gamma-delays&#34;&gt;Gamma Delays&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MOSAIC provides two types of delays using a Gamma-distribution to sample values, namely &lt;code&gt;GammaRandomDelay&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;GammaSpeedDelay&lt;/code&gt;.
The parameters for the used Gamma-distribution have been determined experimentally. The &lt;code&gt;GammaSpeedDelay&lt;/code&gt; extends the &lt;code&gt;GammaRandomDelay&lt;/code&gt;
by a speed penalty. Both delay-types aim to provide more realistic solution, than the previous models, but come with the downside of complexity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Configurations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-json&#34;&gt;&amp;quot;delay&amp;quot;: {
    &amp;quot;type&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;GammaRandomDelay&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;minDelay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;10 ms&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;expDelay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;30 ms&amp;quot;
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code class=&#34;language-json&#34;&gt;&amp;quot;delay&amp;quot;: {
    &amp;quot;type&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;GammaSpeedDelay&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;minDelay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;10 ms&amp;quot;,
    &amp;quot;expDelay&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;30 ms&amp;quot;
}
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
