Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are
intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that help avoid
congestion and provide safer roads. VANETs provide wireless
communication among vehicles and between vehicles and road
side units. The vehicles act like nodes and every node has high
mobility and fast changing topology. To make a connection
between nodes routing is done with the help of routing protocol.
The performance of communication depends on how better the
routing takes place in the network. This paper aims to evaluate
the performance of commonly used routing protocols (OLSR,
AODV, DSDV, DSR) in a vehicular scenario using network
simulator NS3 and road traffic simulator SUMO. The
performance evaluation parameters are Average Goodput,
MAC/PHY Overhead and End-to-End Delay. The results of
simulation show that the performance of the DSR protocol in
terms of MAC/PHY overhead and Goodput metrics is higher
than the other protocols evaluated in this paper. As for End-toEnd Delay metric, DSDV protocol has the lowest delay for the
packet to be delivered from the source node to the destination
node.
