Novel routing protocol for vehicular adhoc networks

Abstract

A vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a subclass of mobile adhoc network (MANET) and targeted to support vehicular safety, traffic monitoring, and other applications. In recent years many routing protocols have been proposed after considering the particular VANET characteristics. We have rigorously studied the proposals and then came up with the conclusion that protocols based on the vehicles positions were found to be the most adequate to VANETs due to the flexibility criterion of handling the nodes position variations. We propose the novel protocol which provide the solution for existing position based routing protocol with help of our test bed and algorithms.
