Performance evaluation of vehicular ad Hoc network using SUMO and NS2

Abstract

In current scenario each and every person is anxious about security and privacy. Vehicular correspondences frameworks have ways to deal with give well-being measures and solace to drivers. Vehicular communication is based on wireless short-range technology that enables impulsive information interchange among vehicles and with roadside stations. A new type of network called vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is available for providing alerts to the vehicles on highways. VANET is vehicular ad hoc network, in which mobile nodes are replaced by vehicles. Vehicular network is used to alert a driver so that accidents can be reduced and also avoid congestion on highways. This can be used for postaccident investigation as well. Frequently changing environment of VANET leads to various challenges. In this paper, the performance of vehicular ad hoc network is evaluated by focusing several key factors and reactive routing strategy.
