Proposing a RPL based protocol for intelligent connected vehicles

According to the growth of different projects and research in the transportation field and also connected, automated and intelligent vehicles the use of effective protocols and standardization is a growing necessity in this context. In this paper we customized an existing internet standard which is called RPL (Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks) for connected vehicles. RPL is flexible and has special specifications such as supporting many low power and lossy nodes, different traffics and self-healing. We believe customized RPL could be suitable for connected vehicles. Our proposed RPL with respect to the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters and the simulation results with different scenarios prove our claims.
