Abstract: Simulation of Vehicle-to Vehicle (V2V) communication and connectivity is carried out. The main objective of the carried out V2Vcommunication simulation is to study the effect of route length, number of hops per route, attenuation related parameter and message size on energy consumption of transmitted bits per sent message. Mathematical modeling (using the original radio energy model), and analysis, is carried out to quantify and approximate the effect of attenuation related parameter (α) and Route Length (LR) on energy consumption of transmitted Basic Safety Message (BSM) for both, 256 Bytes and 320 Bytes size. The original energy radio model is expanded to include not only message size, but also the effect of number of hops on energy consumption. The work successfully proved the critical effect of α and number of hops on energy consumption for a fixed BSM size and the effect of α on the transitional characteristics of routes as a function of number of hops. It is clear from the simulation that α has an adverse effect on consumed energy for transmitted BSMs and also has a marked effect on routes, where any value of α above 3 will lead to energy depletion among, other negative effects on communicating devices.
