Abstract

VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc Network) is an emerging technique which is very challenging. It has attracted the attention of numerous researchers. Characteristics of the VANET network such as the dynamically changing topology, partitioned network and high mobility of modes makes is more challenging. There are so many routing protocols has been suggested to bring out the best communication. In order to ensure a reliable, continuous and unified communication in the presence of speeding vehicles, a novel routing protocol has been has been proposed and implemented. The wagon next point routing protocol (WNPRP) has been proposed. The topology of the VANET has also been discussed. The WNPRP outperforms the existing routing protocols. A better packet delivery ratio along with less link failures while upholding a sensible routing control overhead and lowest average end to end delay is obtained. The simulator NS2 is used to implement the proposed technique and evaluate the proposed technique.
