Abstract	We quantatively analyze the differences between a realisticmobility model, TRANSIMS, and several synthetic mobilitymodels. New synthetic models were created by modifyingthe standard random way point model in several waysin an attempt to make it more realistic. We then comparethese enhanced models with the TRANSIMS data as well asthe random walk and standard random way-point models,using both new spatial based measures as well as networksimulation performance.The velocity component and the spatial distributions ofnodes over the space were analyzed and compared to theTRANSIMS data in order to be able to more generally analyzethe models outside of the context of a network simulation.We also compared the performance of each modelin various simulations of a wireless ad hoc network, witha particular emphasis on systematically varying some ofthe network parameters to determine the sensitivity of eachmodel to differing network conditions. We then relate thesimulation results to the more general spatial methods ofmobility model comparisons that we developed.
