Abstract:
Traffic problems in the field of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) have always been an attraction in the researchers’ eyes all over the world. To reduce traffic congestion, to save travel time, to decrease traffic accidents and to provide demanding information exchanges have become challenges of today and the future. Current research works focus on applying Car-to-Car (C2C) and Car-to-Infrastructure (C2I) approaches in infrastructure-less and flexible ad hoc networks environment. The routing problem has always been one of the most difficult problems in such dynamic environment network. This paper presents a novel, designed for routing purposes, traffic routing algorithm (TMDA) for a novel VANET architecture. The algorithm with the inclusion of urban traffic related routing information has been designed to be deployed in vehicles, e.g., cars and buses and aims to provide proper strategies for the utilization of travel information available in many of the vehicles traversing urban networks. The research investigates and compares communication performance of the communication system under TMDA and the other existing ad-hoc routing protocol (e.g., Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) by a set of experiments with the NS-2 simulator. According to simulation-based performance evaluation, the proposed algorithm, TMDA, provides higher efficiency and reliability than a popular used broadcasting method for data dissemination.
