Intelligent Routing for Hybrid Communication in VANETs

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is an emerging technology with some unique characteristics that makes it different from other ad-hoc networks. VANETs could be a key networking technology of the future vehicle communications, where the communication is possible between V2V, V2I and other hybrid architectures. One of the major issues in VANET is routing due to high mobility and dynamic topology. Since the routing protocol decides how better the communication occurs between the vehicles, the design of routing protocol is very important. We bring the current research efforts on the intelligent routing scheme for VANET. In this research paper, we determine the position of vehicles using GPS, in both city and highway scenarios and establish the communication links between vehicles based on fish swarm algorithm. Our simulation results shows that the proposed intelligent routing algorithm performs better in terms of bandwidth utilized, packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay etc.
