Abstract
Information exchange between vehicles on the road is an important issue for future automotive applications. In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicles can be interconnected without the need of additional infrastructure along the roadside. Since these networks are highly dynamic, routing of data packets is a challenging task. In order to analyze and compare the performance of routing protocols, we developed realistic mobility models for typical traffic scenarios. These were used for a simulation-based evaluation of four routing protocols: AODV, DSR, FSR and TORA. AODV and FSR showed promising results in our simulations, while TORA is completely inapplicable for VANETs.
