  This paper presents a customized framework (NDN4IVC) for simulating and
testing intelligent transportation systems and applications in vehicular
named-data networking (V-NDN). The project uses two popular simulators in the
literature for VANET simulation, a network simulator based on discrete events
(Ns-3), with ndnSIM module installed, and Sumo, a simulator for urban mobility.
NDN4IVC allows bidirectional communication between Sumo and Ns-3 and integrates
the NDN stack and the NFD (NDN Forwarding Daemon) code. The project also brings
together a comprehensive set of codes, models, functionalities, and
technologies to improve proposals and protocols in V-NDN.
