A routing algorithm based on dynamic forecast of vehicle speed and position in VANET

Abstract

Considering city road environment as the background, by researching GPSR greedy algorithm and the movement characteristics of vehicle nodes in VANET, this paper proposes the concept of circle changing trends angle in vehicle speed fluctuation curve and the movement domain and designs an SWF routing algorithm based on the vehicle speed point forecasted and the changing trends time computation. Simulation experiments are carried out through using a combination of NS-2 and VanetMobiSim software. Compared with the performance of the SWF-GPSR protocol with general GPSR, 2-hop C-GEDIR, and the GRA and AODV protocols, we find that the SWF algorithm has a certain degree of improvement in routing hops, the packet delivery ratio, delay performance, and link stability. © 2013 Haojing Huang and Shukui Zhang.
