Performance Analysis of Reactive & Proactive Routing Protocols for Vehicular Adhoc-Networks with Varying Speed of Nodes

Abstract: VANET are considered to be the special application of infrastructure-less wireless Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). In these networks, vehicles are used as nodes. Recently Many researches has been done on this topic as a proof of which US government has recently granted permission for vehicle to vehicle communication accepting that it will be very helpful for minimizing road accidents which costs thousands of death per year. In our work, nodes have been used as vehicles. The work is based on comparison between two mostly used routing protocols Ad hoc on demand distance Vector routing protocol (AODV), MAODV and Destination sequence based distance vector routing protocol (DSDV) in VANET the performances of which has been calculated on the basis of Residual energy, packet delivery ratio, throughput, routing overhead and end to end delay. The tool chosen for the work to be implemented is NETWOR
