Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new scheme to disseminate alarm messages between vehicles in order to prevent pile-up of cars when fogs, accident or any other obstacle. Communications between vehicles constitute a Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET). Contrary to MANET, in VANET nodes which are vehicles can move with high speed and generally must communicate quickly and reliably. When an accident occurs in a road or highway, alarm messages must be transmitted to inform all other vehicles. However, a classical routing or multicasting protocol as in MANET cannot be used since it must first discovers routes and constructs for each node its neighbors. This task take many time so it is not adapted to disseminate unexpected information such as prevent crash. Also, a classical broadcast cannot be used since it causes a protocol overhead and high number of message collisions. To overcome these limitations, we introduce an efficient dissemination of alarm messages while restricting re- broadcast to only special nodes, called relays, and in restricted zones, called risk zones. By simulations, we shows that this method is efficient and reduce the overhead compared to existing solutions. So, it is reliable and scalable.
