An Adaptive on Demand Modified Ant Colony Optimization Routing for VANETs

Around the world, vehicle accidents claim many priceless lives. To tackle this problem, the Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are the most effective solution. Effective communication between vehicular nodes in VANETs is extremely important because of the rapid mobility of vehicles and different network topology. Currently, VANET mostly serves the public security, stability, information for voyageurs, and traffic Management, control of congestion, guidance, etc. Chaos on roadways can occur at any moment, anyplace. It is a situation in which the flow of traffic regulations might cease to function. Collisions, maintaining roads, violation of legal rules, etc., so to evade the congestion in the surrounding region. VANETs represent a dynamic and challenging communication environment characterized by high mobility, intermittent connectivity, and rapid changes in network topology. Efficient and reliable routing is crucial for enabling diverse applications such as traffic management, safety communication, and infotainment services in VANETs. In this research, propose a multi-faceted approach to improve routing performance in VANETs. An adaptive routing algorithm that considers vehicle mobility patterns and dynamically adjusts communication routes based on the anticipated movement of neighboring vehicles such as Modified Ant Colony Optimization (MACO) technique. This adaptability enhances the robustness of the network against frequent topology changes and improves the overall packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and network reliability compared to traditional routing protocols.
