Adaptive Strategies for Scalable and Heterogeneous VANET Network

Despite technological advancements, Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) continue to face challenges related to reliability and high-speed mobility. This study focuses on enhancing scalability, improving mobility, and addressing network heterogeneity in the context of data dissemination. Data dissemination involves the distribution or transmission of statistical data to users. Tools like NS3, SUMO utilizing OSM for realistic traffic simulations, MATLAB for Data Analysis and evaluation of various protocols like ADHOC, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Routing (DSDV). The research aimed to refine VANET simulations for effective decision making, as its primary objective data dissemination i.e. distribution or transmission of statistical data to users, forming the central focus of this investigation.
