Abstract:

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are critical in facilitating smart transportation systems, enhancing road safety, and establishing real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure. The effectiveness of VANETs heavily relies on efficient data transmission, which supports crucial applications like traffic management, collision prevention, and infotainment services. A vital determinant of data transmission efficiency is the routing protocol selection. This research encompasses an extensive comparative analysis of prominent routing protocols used in VANETs to evaluate their capabilities in achieving efficient data transmission. Our findings unveil the strengths and weaknesses of each routing protocol concerning efficient data transmission within the context of VANETs. We pinpoint scenarios where certain protocols excel and highlight challenges some may face. This comparative analysis is a valuable resource for VANET designers, network administrators, and researchers, providing them with the information needed to make well-informed decisions when selecting routing protocols that align with the specific requirements of their VANET applications. Overall, this study significantly contributes to advancing Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks by shedding light on the performance characteristics of routing protocols, specifically optimizing data transmission efficiency. The results presented in this paper aim to promote the development of more robust and dependable VANET systems, ultimately contributing to safer and more efficient vehicular communication on our roadways. Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are a specialized subset of Mobile Ad hoc Networks where each mobile entity is designated a node. In VANETs, vehicles act as these nodes, enabling data transmission for inter-vehicle communication.
