Basic structural change in Vehicular Adhoc Networks

With the increase in population, vehicle traffic has also increased on roads; which have caused an increase in accidents, due to which many people have lost their lives and millions are injured annually. Hence, a foolproof and secure Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANET) structure is required to reduce the number of accidents considerably. In this paper, a VANET structure has been proposed for highways and urban environments. In the Highway model, separate Road Side Units have been provided for the traffic on each side. In this way group formation for localized traffic will be easy on highways. Simulation results show that by using proposed model, average Throughput and End-to-End delay are improved considerably while packet loss has also been reduced.
