Abstract: Vehicular ad-hoc network is a communication network of self-organization, opening structure, which meets the needs of the development of Internet of Vehicles. Modeling and analysis of traffic behavior are conducted based on the method of cellular automata according to vehicle interactive communication under vehicular ad-hoc network environment. Simulation show the traffic wave phenomenon in stop and go, which is analyzed in quantitative and qualitative ways. Research on complex characteristics of Vehicular ad-hoc network transit traffic system by modeling and simulation has been carried out so as to provide scientific theory for Internet of Vehicles transit Operation and management later.

Keywords: Vehicular ad-hoc networks, traffic, cellular automata, simulation
