Outline Introduction Improved Greedy Traffic Aware Routing Protocol (GyTAR) Simulation Conclusion

Introduction Many potentially useful applications have been envisioned in vehicular networks. –Safety applications –Real-time traffic information –Media content sharing –Internet service

Introduction Routing is the fundamental component for the success of these VANET applications.

Goal Propose a routing protocol suitable for city environments. –Efficiently relay data in the network. –Considering the real time road traffic variation and the characteristics of city environments. –Efficiently use the network resources. –Reduced end-to-end delay. –Improve packet delivery ratio.

Network Assumption Vehicle –Each vehicle is equipped with GPS devices used for obtaining vehicle Location, Speed, and direction. –Each vehicle maintains a neighbor table. –Each vehicle can determine the location of its neighboring junctions. J1J1 J2J2 J3J3 J4J4 J1J1 J4J4 J3J3 J3J3

Network Assumption Road –Each junction deploy a static node. –Each static node can communication with the neighbor static nodes. Determine the vehicle traffic between two junction. Get the current geographical location of the destination J1J1 J2J2 J3J3 J4J4
