摘要

This paper presents the Diagonal-Intersection-Routing Protocol with Reinforcement Learning (DIRP-RL), which addresses the problem of dependable packet delivery in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs). Using RL, DIRP-RL optimizes routing decisions to reduce latency and improve transmission efficiency by dynamically learning traffic information for specific road segments. The protocol incorporates geographical and off-road forwarding techniques, such as Store-Carry-Forward, to reduce delay and packet loss even in the event of abrupt route changes. In practical VANET applications, performance benchmarks show that DIRP-RL performs better than similar routing protocols as TDRL-RP, APRRL, DRL-ML, and QGrid. In particular, DIRP-RL produces a 98% packet delivery rate, a 5% drop in end-to-end latency, a 95% increase in hop count, a 4% reduction in routing overhead, and a 96% improvement in total performance. These findings demonstrate how reinforcement learning can improve the efficiency and dependability of VANET connectivity.
