Abstract

A special type of Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) and it provides exchange of messages between vehicles. VANET encourages researchers to create safety and comfort applications that will lead to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Link failure in the routing path occurs due to frequent change in the network topology of VANET. To handle this situation, the routing protocol has to initiate either a local repair of route or find a route by broadcasting control overhead packets. This increases the network bandwidth utilization of the VANET. When the number of vehicles increase in VANET, broadcasting of redundant route repair packets increases the collisions in the medium leading to broadcasting storm problem. This paper proposes an Adaptive Unicast ROuting (AURO) framework to address frequent disconnections and broadcast storm problems in VANET. This framework selects suitable protocol from the three unicast routing protocols namely On-demand Proactive with Route Maintenance Protocol (ORPM), Efficient Reactive routing Protocol (ERP) and Stable Routing Protocol (SRP) from the network context and the user requirements. The proposed AURO framework is implemented using NS2 and SUMO simulators. The performance of these protocols were thoroughly analyzed and compared with existing popular protocols.
