Performance evaluation of routing protocols based on realistic traces from driving simulator

Published: 09 January 2014 Publication History

Abstract

With the rapid growth in wireless mobile communication technology, Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) has emerged as a promising method to effectively solve transportation-related issues. So far, research on VANETs has been focused on simulations as the real-world experiment is expensive. A core problem affecting the fidelity of simulation is the mobility model employed. In this paper, a sophisticated traffic simulator capable of generating realistic vehicle traces is introduced. Combined with network simulator 2 (NS-2), we evaluated the general performance of several routing protocols and studied the impact of intersections on simulation results. We show that static nodes near the intersection tend to become more active in packet delivery with higher transferred throughput.
