Route Optimization Algorithm for Vehicle to Vehicle Communication Using Location Information

This paper has proposed a route optimization algorithm to reduce the routing burden and to increase the routes’ life time in VANET (Vehicular ad-hoc network) environment. Then it has been combined into the LAR (Location-aided routing) and AODV (Ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing) protocols to see the performance. After the simulation which has been done by the Qualnet simulator, the result shows much obvious improvement in data transmission.
