Due to such peculiarities, in this paper we study the impact of using vehicles predicted locations as a metric for data communication in VANETs. This paper deals with PBERR (Parameter Based Efficient Reliable Routing) for VANETs, which is a multilevel routing algorithm. The focus of this algorithm is 100% data transmission from end to end with no loss or drop of data packets by selecting the reliable path. The proposed algorithm will use the data of the digital maps to limit the scope of message exchanges in the shortest path for vehicles between source and destination. Our results clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed solution in different scenarios, especially in terms of Network throughput, Energy consumption and Average delay. Keywords: Vehicular Adhoc Networks, PBERR (Parameter based efficient reliable routing), Routing. 1. Introduction The incorporation of communication technology in the vehicles has begun years ago. Some popular examples for the integration of mobile devices integration are Internet access and Car phones, based on Bluetooth adapters as well as cellular technologies. Inter- vehicle communication (IVC) deals with direct communication between vehicles using an Ad Hoc network, so called Vehicle Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), is a new approach. Thus, interconnected vehicles can collect and share information about themselves and surrounding environments in real time. Therefore, there is an extensive list of potential applications of VANETs, where we can highlight categories related to safety, transport efficiency and information/entertainment applications. Fine administration of versatility in VANET is vital with a specific end goal to guarantee routing efficiency. Common routing protocols based on topology have constrained exhibitions in such systems, on account of their expensive revelation and maintenance stages. Packet or Information routing is one of the significant issues in VANETs in view of previously mentioned qualities. In VANETs, routing protocols can be categorized into six classes: 1) Protocols based on Topology: They discover the routes amongst hubs and save them in routing table before forwarding information. 2) Protocols based on Position: This category of protocols use geographic positioning data with a specific end goal to locate the progressive sending hubs, hence there is no necessity to set up and save a route between sender and receiver. 3) Protocols based on Cluster: In this type of protocols, close vehicles attempt to make a group with each other. One among these vehicles is chosen as group-head who is responsible to broadcast and manage the inter/intra-group messages. In group based protocols, Scalability is the main advantage of group based protocols, and high overhead and delay are the main disadvantages in highly mobile systems like VANETs. 4) Protocols based on Geo-cast routing: In this type of protocols, nodes try to send information to a set of vehicles in a particular geographic zone. They resemble multicast routing. Partitioning and forwarding to a suitable node can be avoided by troublesome neighbor centers are the two drawbacks in Geo-cast routing protocols. 5) Protocols based on broadcast routing: These protocols are mainly used for different purposes in VANETs, such as: traffic information or data sharing, emergency news and advertisements news. 6) Protocols based on Infrastructure: In the routing process, these protocols use their infrastructure and hence the name. Development of new attractive services can be done using particular properties of VANETs. The most important and relevant areas are safety and comfort. Safety applications increase the wellbeing or safety of travelers by exchanging most important data by means of Inter vehicular communication. The data is either displayed to the driver or used to trigger safety system. Comfort Applications improve passenger traffic efficiency and comfort by optimizing the route to a destination. The paper is organized as follows. Section II deals with related work. Section III explains the localization prediction- based routing for VANETs. Section IV explains the proposed system. Section V deals with performance analysis. The paper is concluded in section VI.
