Abstract

The integration of 5G technology with Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) represents a significant advancement in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This paper explores the potential of 5G to enhance real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure, aiming to improve road safety and traffic management. Using simulation tools such as OMNeT++ and SUMO, various traffic scenarios were modeled to assess the performance of the integrated 5G-VANET system. Key performance indicators including end to end latency, packet loss, and node acceleration behaviour were evaluated. The results indicate that the integration of 5G reduces communication latency to below 10 milliseconds and achieves packet delivery rates exceeding 95% in high-density traffic situations. This study demonstrates the feasibility of 5G-enhanced VANETs, highlighting their potential to contribute to safer and smarter transportation systems.
