An Adaptive Multi-hop Clustered Voting to Improve the Message Trust in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks

Fatemeh Mirzaei, Mahdi Mollamotalebi

Abstract


The Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is used in intelligent transportation systems to make communication between vehicles and make appropriate decisions with regard to road or traffic conditions. Some main research issues in VANETs are unreliability in communication, delay/precision of decision making, information overheads, and handling the nodes dynamicity. This paper aimed to provide an efficient voting method to improve the reliability of decision making for message voting. It also reduces the voting delay and network information overhead. The proposed method is simulated in NS2. The experimental results indicated that the proposed method’s decision making precision is improved between 6 % and 30 % compared to similar methods in the literature, under conditions such as traffic amount, number of nodes and operation period time. It also reduces the number of transferred packets between 1 % and 9 % in different environmental conditions.
