An Efficient Predictive Algorithm for Custodians Management in VDTN

Vehicular networks (VN) working over Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) define Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN). We propose a predictive algorithm to dynamically assign the appropriate quantity of custodians depending on the users demands and characteristics of the environment such as type of network, type of communication and road conditions to guarantee hop by hop reliability avoiding congestion
