K.Syam Kumari shyamvarma28@gmail.com Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada, 533003,India Abstract During the last few years, continuous progresses in wireless communications have opened new research fields in computer networking, aimed at extending data networks connectivity to environments where wired solutions are impracticable. Among these, vehicular traffic is attracting a growing attention from both academia and industry, due to the amount and importance of related distributive applications to mobile entertainment. VANETs are self-organized networks built up from moving vehicles, and are part of the broader class of MANETs. Because of these peculiar characteristics, VANETs require new networking techniques, whose feasibility and performance are usually tested by means of simulation. In order to meet performance goals, it is widely agreed that VANETs must rely heavily on node-to-node communication. In VANET, each vehicle acts as a node and communicates with other vehicles within the range or communicates with base stations. The main idea is to deploy a wireless communication network that has a capability of sending and receiving messages between transmitter and mobile devices in the particular network. Results can be shown using an effective VEINS Simulator. This Simulator can produce detailed vehicular movement traces and can simulate different traffic conditions through fully customizable scenarios. The Framework is expected to be employed using such simulator that makes use of traffic modulator, network simulator and coupling module that integrates the traffic and network. Keywords: Networking Techniques, VANETs, Node-to-node Communication, Modulator. 1. INTRODUCTION Road and traffic safety can be improved if drivers have the ability to see further down the road and know if they are approaching a traffic jam. The productivity of vehicles is in greater proportion to the number of roads. Under these circumstances, Researches have been done to improve the road safety like safe driving education, roads expansion and speed management etc., has not made much impact. As the road accidents increasing day by day there is much need to think of new approaches like, if drivers and vehicles communicate with each other and with roadside base stations. It is possible to build a multi-hop network among several vehicles that have communication devices. Communication between vehicles [1] can be used to realize driver support and active safety services like collision warning, up-to-date traffic and weather information or active navigation systems.
