Enhancing Service Excellence in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)

Description

This project focuses on enhancing service excellence in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) by optimizing the AODV protocol to improve Quality of Service (QoS). The proposed solution increases the packet delivery rate and reduces latency, ensuring more efficient communication between vehicles in dynamic environments. The system uses NS2 and OpenStreetMap for simulations to evaluate performance improvements in real-time scenarios.

By modifying the AODV protocol with real-time location and node identity data, the model achieves a 15% improvement in packet delivery rate and a 20% reduction in latency. These optimizations contribute to safer and more efficient communication, essential for applications like autonomous driving and smart transportation.

Conclusion

The enhanced AODV protocol significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of VANETs, providing better communication for vehicles on the road. These improvements are critical for the development of smart city and autonomous driving technologies, where real-time data exchange is vital.

The use of real-time location data and advanced QoS metrics further strengthens the robustness of the VANET system, ensuring reliable vehicle-to-vehicle communication. This work highlights the role of network optimization in the future of vehicular technologies, offering a foundation for next-generation transportation systems.
