Mobility Model and Traffic Pattern based Optimization of Reactive Protocols for VANETs

A typical VANET

A city scenario

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is the special type of MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) where the mobile nodes are vehicles that move on roads at very high speed following traffic rules; they provide communication between vehicle and vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle and Road side infrastructural unit (V 2 I). A number of mobility models have been presented and their impact on the performance on the routing protocols has been tested by the researchers.

We have tested the performance of AODV and AOMDV protocols using Intelligent Driver Mobility model and with different traffic patterns. For this analysis we have created  a scenario of a city with three different clusters.

We have also found the energy consumption of the vehicles using these protocols
