摘要：A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network or VANET is a sub form of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network or MANET thatprovides communication between vehicles and between vehicles and road-side base stations with an aim of providingefficient and safe transportation. A vehicle in VANET is considered to be an intelligent mobile node capable ofcommunicating with its neighbours and other vehicles in the network. VANET introduces more challenges aspects ascompare to MANET because of high mobility of nodes and fast topology changes in VANET. Various routingprotocols have been designed and presented by researchers after considering the major challenges involved in VANETsThis paper provides a survey of routing protocols for VANET . It covers application areas, challenges and securityissues prevailing in VANETs.
