  abstract  = {In this article, we aim to evaluate the influences of different propagation models on the results of V2X simulations. First, we analyze how the models free space propagation, Rayleigh fading, and Ricean fading in synthetic scenarios with and without background communication influence the simulation of communication in general. After that, we investigate the impact of the models on the simulated behavior of a V2X traffic efficiency application in a real inner city scenario. Our results show that the selection of the propagation model affects the number of delivered messages, but exerts no significant influence on the simulated effectiveness of a V2X traffic efficiency application in urban areas. Under those circumstances, a simplified propagation model is sufficient.},
