Mobile AdHoc networks for Intelligent Transportation System: Comparative Analysis of the Routing protocols

Communication networks knew a lot of development from their first creation, from wired networks, to wireless communication networks with infrastructure, and now we talk about wireless communication networks without infrastructure, also called MANETs. The wireless communication networks without infrastructure, allows a quick, easy and efficient network deployment, often used in rescue operations, after a natural disaster, to replace the existing network infrastructure, or in the military field. We focus in our work on the intelligent transport system, that improve the traditional transport system, with reducing the risk of human errors to save lives, and with the effective management of traffic congestion to save time and minimize the energy consumption. The MANETs have a lot of different routing protocols, in this article we compare the performance of some of this routing protocols in case of using different communication applications based on HTTP, FTP and Voice protocols.
