== Unity Traffic Simulation == [[TOC(Other/Summer/2015*, depth=3)]] === Introduction === Communication between mobile nodes has become an area of interest as there is an increasing push for its implementations. For instance, car-to-car communication is an highly anticipated technology that could potentially prevent countless collisions and save countless lives. However, communication between mobile nodes remains a complex problem. A transmitted signal loses power ('path loss') by any number of factors, including refraction, diffraction, and absorption. By exploring how path loss is affected by factors such as distance, and terrain, insight can be gained on how to optimize mobile node communication.
