An enhanced intersection based geographical routing protocol for VANET

Abstract

Vehicle Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is an up-rising sub class of Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET). The vehicle nodes in such networks can exchange the information with other vehicular nodes as well as with Road Side Units (RSU). For efficient data communication among the vehicle nodes, the routing protocols play a significant role and able to handle high mobility, dynamic topologies and disconnected links. In order to address the existing routing protocols issues including delay, disconnectivity and overhead. This thesis presents the Intersection Gateway and Connectivity based Routing (IGCR) protocol for efficient routing in VANET. The proposed protocol uses important metrics like traffic density and direction of nodes towards the destination for route selection. The experimental results indicated that the proposed protocol well-behave and showing better performance compared to state of the art routing protocols in terms of data delivery, data delay and data throughput
