An Efficient Routing Scheme for VANETs  
  Authors : Kishor Shivathaya ; Rasheeda Khan ; Anand S Uppar

 

In the near future vehicular networks (VANETs) based on wireless technology will be part of our daily lives. VANETs enable vehicles that are not necessarily within the same to communicate with each other. They also allow vehicles to connect to Roadside Units (RSUs), which are connected to the Internet, forming a backbone mesh that offers the capability of communicating with each other and with roaming vehicles. This paper, proposes a routing scheme for VANETs that makes use of Distributed Hierarchical Location Service (DHLS). This scheme exploits the RSU network and Hierarchical Location Service to efficiently route packets between far away vehicles in the VANET. The DHLS is called to get the destination position when the target node position is not known. We evaluate our system using ns2 simulation, and the results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of our proposed scheme in terms of query delay, packet delivery ratio, and generated traffic.

This paper presented a routing scheme for VANETs, which is part of a complete system being designed to provide car drivers and passengers pervasive access to needed data while on the road. The evaluation of the proposed scheme confirmed its effectiveness as compared to a recent routing protocol for VANETs. Future work focuses on devising secure mechanisms for registering users to the system of RSUs and designating them as proxies to Internet SPs that provide data to users and also to improve the efficiency of routing.
