Abstract

Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is a potential player in an intelligent transportation system that would increase road safety as well as road confort. In VANETs, vehicles excahnge road-related information either through an established infrastructure, which is costly, or through their collaboration when in common transmission range which we adopt in this paper. Information dissemination is realized through broadcasting, thus an intelligent selection technique should be deployed to decrease the traffic load caused by unnecessary rebroadcasting. In this paper, we propose an interest-aware data dissemination protocol that periodically exploits the current neighbors ' interests to select the proper set of data to be broadcasted. The proposed approach is structure-less and imposes minimum overhead on the communication abndwidth. The protocol is evaluated through simulation experiments and rResults obtained demonstrate that this approach maximizes the number of relevant data reports received by the vehicles, especially if a certain data type is more popular than the others.
