A new comparative study of ad hoc routing protocol AODV and DSR in VANET environment using simulation tools

Abstract

Routing in VANET has been studied and investigated widely in the past few years. Since VANETs are a specific class of ad hoc networks, the commonly used ad hoc routing protocols initially implemented for MANETs have been tested and evaluated for use in a VANET environment. In this paper we study and analyze two mobiles ad-hoc routing protocols AODV and DSR in a VANET environment especially in a City scenario, using simulation tools.
