ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN VEHICULAR ADHOC NETWORKS (VANETs)

Due to the increasing number of vehicles on road, there is a huge demand for communication on move. To reach this demand and to make communication more improved we need to focus on an algorithm which meets its requirements. Here it is observed that VANET (Vehicular ad hoc network) is one type of network which is suitable to this. It creates a temporary network with the group of vehicles considers as Mobile Hosts without any central administration or any infrastructure. Because of this feature it is described as self configured or autonomous network. It provides two types of communications for functions like safety, Emergency Vehicle Warning etc. This type of communication is taken as "the communication between vehicles" and the communication between "Road side nodes with Vehicle nodes". This kind of communication is done based on various routing protocols. In this study we explored different kind of communication routing protocols and its analysis.
