Simulation Based Analysis of Bee Swarm Inspired Hybrid Routing Protocol Parameters Using Realistic Mobility Model In Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET's) are basically emanated from Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET's) in which vehicles act as the mobile nodes, the nodes are vehicles on the road and mobility of these vehicles are very high. The main objective of VANET is to enhance the safety and amenity of road users. It provides intelligent transportation services in vehicles with the automobile equipment to communicate and co-ordinates with other vehicles in the same network that informs the driver’s about the road status, unseen obstacles, internet access and other necessary travel service information’s. The evaluation of vehicular ad hoc networks applications in based on the simulations. A Realistic Mobility model is a basic component for VANET simulation that ensures that conclusion drawn from simulation experiments will carry through to real deployments. This paper attempts to evaluate the performance of a Bee swarm inspired Hybrid routing protocol for vehicular ad hoc network, that protocol should be tested under a realistic condition including, representative data traffic models, and the realistic movement of the mobile nodes which are the vehicles. In VANET the simulation of Realistic mobility model has been generated using SUMO and MOVE software and network simulation has been performed using NS2 simulator, we conducted performance evaluation based on certain metric parameters such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay and normalized overhead ratio.
