High values of the communication range between two vehicles

I use OMNeT++-4.6, sumo-0.22.0 and Veins-4a2.

I measured the distance between two bikes (in my scenario vehicles are considered as bikes and I modified my rou.xml file by adding vClass="bicycle") during a contact in my simulation and I had very high distance values: up to 1800m.

Normally, using the 802.11p model, the communication range is 15-20 meters in Europe.

I did not understand well these high values, can someone explain me please if it is a normal case else where does the problem come from ?

ETSI ITS G5 is using IEEE 802.11p as transmission technology.

Someone can find many publications stating about different transmission distances while using IEEE 802.11p as transmission technology.

The article Evaluating the Impact of Transmission Range on the Performance of VANET mentions a communication distance up to one kilometer.

But, the transmission distance highly depends on the simulated scenario as various obstacles (cars, buildings, ...) may influence the maximum transmission distance significantly.

Also, the simulation accuracy of the physical transmission and the radio medium will influence the calculated transmission range.
