UMass Amherst campus and surrounding county host a real-world disruption-tolerant network testbed. The dataset includes real mobility and data transfer traces from the UMassDieselNet bus system. It was created by John Burgess and released in January 2006.
Use Cases
- Modeling message propagation delays based on real bus mobility patterns.
- Evaluating DTN routing algorithm performance using real-world transfer logs.
- Analyzing contact patterns and network connectivity in a vehicular testbed.
Strengths
- Data is from a real-world, operational bus-based testbed.
- Includes both mobility traces and real data transfer events.
Limitations
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
