Simulation and Analysis of Information Dissemination in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

The field of intelligent transport systems (ITS) is very actual, mainly due to the considerable advances in information technology applications in transport. An integral part of these systems is the mutual communication of their elements (primarily vehicles). The structure for communication between vehicles is referred to as the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET). However, communication is not a goal but a means. The aim is to ensure the retrieval and dissemination of information that can then be used by the vehicles to optimize its behavior. In this paper, a simulation model based on the exchange of messages in VANET is proposed allowing us to model in detail the dynamics of the process of disseminating information on the road. The selection of the first experimental results will be presented in the paper, making it possible to analyze the dissemination process and suggest its optimization.
