Abstract

The swift improvement of wireless communication technology has aided the creation of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) as a revolutionary option for the realization of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). VANETs facilitate seamless communication between vehicles and infrastructure (V2I) and among the vehicles themselves (V2V). These networks can enhance safety and traffic control while providing various infotainment options. To ensure stable and efficient communication in highly dynamic and quickly changing vehicular contexts, effective data packet routing is a crucial component of VANETs. This survey delves further into the VANET routing algorithms for ITS. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of various routing protocols suggested for VANETs while considering their unique requirements and difficulties. The review covers ad hoc on‐demand distance vector (AODV) and dynamic source routing (DSR), as well as more current strategies designed specifically for VANETs, such as geographic routing, cluster‐based routing, and hybrid routing protocols. The review assesses the routing algorithms based on several vital parameters, including packet delivery ratio (PDR), end‐to‐end delay, throughput, network overhead, scalability, and robustness. This detailed assessment supports aspiring researchers in acquiring a better knowledge of the benefits and drawbacks of the routing algorithms currently used in VANETs.
