Abstract


In recent years, the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) has received great attention, as it is involved in the design of the intelligent transportation system (ITS). The VANET network includes message flows from vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) where the network is propped by wireless communication technology, such as IEEE 1609 WAVE and IEEE 802.11P. The VANET network implementation faces challenges, and one of these challenges is the design of routing protocols that transfer reliable and efficient packets from vehicle to vehicle. In VANET, steering is a challenging task in the highway and urban environment. Therefore, this paper presents an assessment of ad hoc on-demand distance vector protocol (AODV) performance in the highway and urban environment and to study the effect of vehicle density on protocol performance. The AODV protocol was simulated by MATLAB. In this study, the performance of AODV protocol was evaluated through four measures, namely, packet delivery ratio (PDR), overhead, end-to-end (E2E) delay, and dropped packets. The study in our paper showed that the best performance of the AODV protocol is in an environment where vehicle speed and vehicle density are low.
