Trace file columns

The trace file generated after running a simulation is in the form of a Comma Separated Value (CSV) format. Each CSV contains the following columns:

Column Header	Data Type	Description
rv_id	integer	identifier of the remote vehicle (transmitter of V2X message)
hv_id	integer	identifier of the host vehicle (receiver of V2X message)
target_id	integer	identifier of the target vehicle of the attack. This is especially useful for ghost-node based attacks to understand which vehicle is the target.
msg_generation_time	double	timestamp of when the message was generated at the transmitter
msg_rcv_time	double	timestamp of when the message was received at the receiver
rv_msg_count	integer	message sequence identifier or message count of the message transmitted by remote vehicle. This goes from 0 to 127 and resets to 0.
rv_wsm_data	string	additional data about the message
rv_pos_x	double	latitude of transmitter
rv_pos_y	double	longitude of transmitter
rv_pos_z	double	elevation of transmitter
rv_speed	double	speed of transmitter
rv_accel	double	acceleration of transmitter
rv_heading	double	heading/bearing/direction of transmitter
rv_yaw_rate	double	yaw-rate of transmitter
rv_length	double	length of transmitter vehicle
rv_width	double	width of transmitter vehicle
rv_height	double	height of transmitter vehicle
hv_msg_count	integer	message sequence identifier or message count of the message about to be transmitted by host vehicle. This goes from 0 to 127 and resets to 0.
hv_wsm_data	string	additional data about the message
hv_pos_x	double	latitude of receiver
hv_pos_y	double	longitude of receiver
hv_pos_z	double	elevation of receiver
hv_speed	double	speed of receiver
hv_accel	double	acceleration of receiver
hv_heading	double	heading/bearing/direction of receiver
hv_length	double	length of receiving vehicle
hv_width	double	width of receiving vehicle
hv_height	double	height of receiving vehicle
attack_type	string	type of attack if malicious/attacker vehicle, otherwise defaults to "Genuine"
eebl_warn	boolean	indicates if EEBL raised a warning; 1 = warning; 0 = no warning
ima_warn	boolean	indicates if IMA raised a warning; 1 = warning; 0 = no warning
