Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to OMNeT++ and the FloRa framework, and I'm currently embarking on a project that involves integrating FloRa simulations with the OpenRails train simulator. My goal is to create a setup where LoRa nodes within the FloRa simulation are triggered based on the proximity of a train, as simulated in OpenRails. The basic idea is to use the precise location data provided by OpenRails to determine when a train is near a sensor, and at that moment, trigger the corresponding LoRa nodes in the FloRa simulation.
The challenge I'm facing is in achieving a seamless synchronization between the two simulations: specifically, the process of triggering the LoRa nodes in FloRa based on the train's location data from OpenRails. I've been pondering over the best way to implement this interaction, especially in terms of real-time data exchange and synchronization between the simulations to ensure accurate and timely triggering of the nodes.
I was wondering if anyone here has undertaken similar integration efforts or dealt with synchronizing OMNeT++ simulations with external simulation tools? I'm interested in any insights, advice, or experiences you could share on:
-Techniques for efficient real-time data exchange between OMNeT++ (specifically FloRa) and external simulators like OpenRails.
-Best practices for ensuring accurate synchronization between simulations, particularly for event triggering based on external data
inputs.
-Any potential pitfalls or challenges I should be aware of when attempting to integrate these simulations.
Your expertise and guidance would be invaluable to me as I navigate this integration, and I'm eager to learn from the experiences of this community.
Thank you in advance for any help or pointers you can provide!
