文摘

The new information and communication technologies have changed the trend of communication in all fields. The transportation sector is one of the emerging field, where vehicles are communicating with each other or with infrastructure for different safety and comfort applications in the network. Vehicular ad hoc networks is one of the emerging multi-hop communication type of intelligent transportation field to deal with high mobility and dynamic vehicular traffic to deliver data packets in the network. The high mobility and dynamic topologies make the communication links unreliable and leads to frequent disconnectivity, delay and packet dropping issues in the network. To address these issues, we proposed a road aware geographical routing protocol for urban vehicular ad hoc networks. The proposed routing protocol uses distance, direction and traffic density routing metrics to forward the data towards the destination. The simulation results explore the better performance of proposed protocol in terms of data delivery, network delay and compared it with existing geographical routing protocols.
