Enhance Path Selection with Multi-Hop Data Dissemination to Achieve High Quality-of-Service in Vehicular Communication

VANETs through the proposed EPMHQ approach. It discusses the challenges of VANETs, and related works, and introduces the EPMHQ approach integrating DSRC, IEEE 802.11p, AODV routing, and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) based path selection. The methodology and objectives of the approach are outlined, emphasizing its aim to enhance network performance and efficiency. Results from experiments utilizing NS-2 simulation are shown, indicating better performance in packet delivery ratio, network throughput, average delay, energy efficiency, and routing overhead when compared to current techniques. The abstract concludes by highlighting the potential of the EPMHQ approach in improving VANETs for intelligent transportation systems.
