Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are a collection of cutting-edge technologies that are intended to offer a variety of road traffic management and safety services. The number of automobiles on the road and flying in three-dimensional (3D) space has increased dramatically, increasing the risk of accidents and other security issues. A new technology based on the network composed of flying drones, mobile vehicles, and ad hoc infrastructure known as UAV-assisted vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), a subtype of mobile ad hoc network (MANET), is designed to deal with security issues observed in VANETs. The applications or protocols designed for vehicular safety in such a network should be thoroughly tested before deployment. In many scenarios, simulations with the help of readily available tools play a significant role within the limited scope of testing in research at various levels. Therefore, such simulation tools and their appropriate selection for specific purposes are essential for validating any research concept before being implemented in various real-world network scenarios. This paper explores available open-source simulators that can be used to simulate UAV-assisted VANETs. Additionally, a comparison based on various features of simulators has also been presented aimed at helping in the selection of a particular tool for specific problems.
