An Analysis of VANET Topology Based Routing Approach on Various Parameters

Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a peculiar subclass of mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) that has the potential in improving road safety and in providing travellers comfort. Currently it has gained an important part of interest of researchers and become very popular. One of the main challenges in VANET is of searching and maintaining an effective route for transporting data information. Hence, an analysis on routing protocols based on various parameters of VANET is a necessary issue in communication. Simulation tools has been preferred over outdoor experiment because it simple, easy and cheap. VANET requires that a traffic & network simulator should be used together to perform the test. In this paper, we present brief analysis of routing protocols and ending up with the most appropriate simulation tools to simulate VANET protocols and application.
