Design and Simulation: A Multi-Hop Clustering Approach of VANET Using SUMO and NS2

Abstract

VANET is an emerging technology in today's world. With the help of VANET technology, most vehicles can get congestion information and take their necessary route. Vehicular technology is a rising technology. They are integrating ad-hoc network, wireless local area network and mobile community to acquire intelligent inter-vehicle conversation. Vehicle communication shares various types of data such as traffic, road condition, etc. In order to increase traffic efficiency, road safety and road comfort, safety information is provided in VANET network. Vehicular commination consists of mainly vehicular internet, vehicular personal devices, intra-vehicular communication. A secure and efficient communication scheme with authentication is necessary for privacy preserving in vehicular ad-hoc networks. Security and privatives are imperative in any community verbal exchange for the success attractiveness and deployment of any community. This paper proposes and simulates the secure multi-hop clustering approach of VANET using SUMO (simulation of urban mobility) and NS2 (network simulator). To simulate realistic experimental conditions, we made the necessary adjustment to the urban scenario using SUMO, including real maps from the Open Street Maps platform and NS2. Simulation results show the better performance of SMHC (Secure Multi-hop clustering) approach in terms of recent new similar proposals found in the literature concerned with packet losses, end-to-end packet delay and throughput for different vehicles densities. We have simulated result in NS2 and compare with VANET QoS OLSR, QoS OLSR and Classical QOLSR.
