Abstracts: VANET is a special form of MANET which is a vehicle to vehicle & vehicle to roadside wireless communication network. It is autonomous and self-organizing wireless communication network, where nodes involve themselves as servers and/or clients to exchange and share information. Usually the nodes are moving with very high speeds and, thus, the topology is unpredictable and frequently changing. Such networks can be stand alone and making paths along vehicles or may be connected by an infrastructure internet. System characteristics such as multi-hop paths, node mobility, large network size combined with bandwidth and unlimited battery power make the design of routing protocols a much more challenging job. In this project report, we have introduced VANET and its basic characteristics, protocols for VANET, Simulation tools available for VANET simulation, VANET simulation using simulators like SUMO and NS3. We've simulated protocols like AODV, OSLR, GPSR and GPCR on realistic as well as virtual traffic scenarios. We have evaluated the performance of these protocols based on some important primary performance metrics like Packet Delivery Ratio, Throughput and End to End Delay. We conclude with performance evaluation.
