Abstract

VANETs (Vehicular Ad hoc Networks) constitute a new form of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). VANETs provide passengers and drivers with the comfort and security [1, 2].

The number of vehicles in the world is increasing quickly and with it the number of road traffic accidents. As result, the number of deaths is on the rise. Thus creating a safety system on the roads is an obligation.

To reduce the high number of traffic accidents, academic institutions, industries and governments have invested large efforts by developing new software and hardware solutions. One of most important types of protocols in VANETs networks that improve roads security, are the alert message dissemination protocols. Vehicles that detect the event in the road send a broadcasting alert message to neighbor vehicles for helping them know the status of traffic [1, 11].

The main goal of our work is firstly to integrate the alert functionality to one of existing VANETs routing protocols that is the LEACH protocol (only the basic routing functionality are used). The procedures that we have integrated to the LEACH protocol ensure the following features:

  • Event point detection

  • Search for close neighbors

  • Sending of messages to nearby neighbors

  • Communications From vehicles to infrastructure

  • Communications From infrastructure to vehicles

The second goal is to simulate our protocol functionality on a part of a real map of Tangier and to examine the impact of varying density on the number of sent/received packets and average delay.

The results of our work show that our proposed algorithm is reliable in view of the number of packets sent/received and of the low average delay.
