Abstract
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are recently getting high attention from different researchers due to increasing traffic problems, especially in densely populated countries. Increasing rates of accidents call for an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) with efficient performance to reduce and mitigate this trend. The required enhancement of the ITS can be more focused on traffic performance, integrity, and reduction of the vehicles’ CO2 emissions. Existing routing protocols for VANETs consider different situations and methods to establish reliable communication between the vehicles and infrastructures. However other situations have not been addressed carefully like the link stability between vehicles during packet exchange.This research introduces OPBRP that uses the vehicle’s kinematics collected from neighbors to reach optimum forwarding decision. Higher Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), lower average hops count, and lower power consumption are achieved compared to MPBRP and GPSR.
The proposed OPBRP achieves better results by utilizing more stable links between the source and the destination. OPBRP uses the neighbor vehicle’s kinematics to predict the road situation in near future, while considering the radio obstacles in the prediction. Based on this information, the forwarding or recovery decision can be made.
