Intersection Based Traffic Aware Routing In VANET

Vehicular Ad-hoc network is an emerging class of wireless network that provide efficient communication between vehicles and between vehicles and road side units (RSU). VANETs are gaining attention from both industrial and academic point of view due to its wide range of applications. Appropriate routing algorithm seems to be a key point to success of VANET applications. Design of an efficient routing protocol is important for smart Intelligent Transport System (ITS). But there are certain challenges that affect routing especially in highly dense environment. In this paper we discuss the impact of traffic light employed at intersections on the routing process. This paper proposes an effective and reliable routing protocol that takes traffic lights in to consideration.
