A dense and high traffic scenario for vehicular ad hoc network implementation in metro city

Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a practical solution of intelligent transportation system which combines the interaction between technology and network traffic. To develop VANET communication services, a realistic mobility environment must be primarily generated because it has a significant effect on routing protocol performance. In this paper, a realistic mobility model from Makassar, Indonesia is proposed to test the performance of AODV and OLSR routing protocols in Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End To End Delay (E2ED) and Overhead Ratios. The simulation results show that random mobility model produce better PDR with 83% for AODV and 87% for OLSR. Then E2ED showed similar result for both of mobility model. But AODV has the longest delay with 0.54 second on proposed mobility model. It's different with PDR and E2ED, overhead value showed better performance on proposed mobility model ie 0.83 for AODV and 0.67 for OLSR.
