Abstract
The exchange of information between vehicles is a challenging issue for future Transportation applications. In vehicular Ad-Hoc network, the vehicles are interconnected with each other and they have not any additional infrastructure along the roadside. Vehicular Ad-hoc networks are eminent from other types of Ad-hoc networks. The Ad-hoc network attributed to their features such as infrastructure-less setup and self configure without any centralized manager. The Vehicular Ad-hoc networks have hybrid architecture and due to high mobility the network pose various research challenges. Due to high mobility in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), the various protocols proposed and have been made. In this paper, we studied the position based routing protocols and compare their performance in urban and highway environment and analyze which protocol is best for these environments. Position based routing protocols are based on the vehicle position. The urban and highway environment is different from each other we surveyed the differences and characterizing and analyzing the protocols with each other's. We also discuss the differences between mobile Ad-hoc networks and vehicular Ad-hoc networks and routing strategies as well.
