An Ant Colony Algorithm-Based Routing Protocol for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Vehicles bring more and more functions in urban environments. In order to meet everyone's daily entertainment and use needs, vehicle communication problems must be solved. There are many routing protocols, but due to the special features of the urban environment, traditional routing mechanisms cannot be directly applied to it. In this paper, considering the urban environment network load, node load imbalance, routing timeliness, emergency response capabilities of the route, and urban environment building obstacles, this paper proposes a route suitable for transmission in the urban environment based on the ant colony algorithm protocol (NABR).
