Improving AODV Routing in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a new method of interaction which involves interaction among vehicles running at high velocities on the roads. Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a most vital class of mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) that makes capable roadside vehicles to intelligently communicate with outside infrastructure and with each other anywhere anytime in the worldwide network. A new routing protocol for VANET is introduced in this paper; the suggested Active Route timeout established Ad-hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) is called E-AODV; it utilizes the hello interval and Active Route timeouts parameters to choose the best routing route. This paper compares the suggested E-AODV performance with respect to average delay, average throughput and average network load. Results show that performance of E-AODV is much better as compared to normal AODV.
