… give a survey of the VANETs routing mechanisms, this paper gives an overview of Vehicular
ad hoc networks (VANETs) and the existing VANET routing protocols; mainly it focused on …

… This section introduces the unicast routing protocols in VANETs. The main goal of unicast
routing in VANETs is to transmit data from a single source to a single destination via wireless …

… We mainly focus on routing protocols for VANETs with ad hoc architectures in this article.
However, other kinds of communication technologies can also be integrated to support vehicle-…

… ad hoc network routing in MANET and VANET, which is our study field. They are the most
commonly compared protocols … standardization effort from ETSI for VANET routing. In this sense…

… Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a new powerful technology with
an aim of providing safety for the persons sitting in the vehicles. Vehicles may be connected to …

… information in vehicular ad-hoc networks is that routing can be fully dynamic and distributed,
and the number of flooding packets necessary for non-positional based routing is reduced. …

… a routing protocol is challenging. In this article, we examine a range of VANET routing
protocols … We also explore a simple epidemic routing approach that does not rely on end-to-end …

… During the last decade, many routing protocols have been proposed for Vehicular Ad hoc
NETworks (VANETs) by taking into account their specific characteristics. The protocols based …

… VANET routing protocols. In this paper, we discuss the design factors of unicast routing protocols
for VANETs… development of the existing unicast routing protocols. Moreover, we classify …

… weaknesses of these routing protocols in regard to their suitability to vehicular networks.
Lastly, we discuss the open issues and research directions related to VANET routing protocols. …
