Hybrid communication solution for C-ITS and its evaluation

Abstract

Smart mobility based on cooperative systems (C-ITS) represents one of the Smart Cities topics. Guaranteed quality of data exchange both between VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc Network) members (V2V) as well as between VANET and Infrastructure (V2I) represents critical condition for suitable functions of the cooperative systems. We proposed hybrid routing protocol for VANET networking based on application of two most widely accepted mobile technologies and theirs combination. Finally, we compared in VANET communication simulation proposed protocol performance with performance of mostly discussed routing protocols designed for VANET conditions.
