Abstract :
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) provide the communications required to deploy Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In the current state of the art in this field there is a lack of studies on real outdoor experiments to validate the new VANETs protocols and applications proposed by designers. In this work we have addressed the definition of a testbed in order to study the performance of the Vehicular Data Transfer Protocol (VDTP) in a real urban VANET. The VDTP protocol has been tested by employing six different parameter settings: one defined by human experts and five automatically optimized by means of metaheuristic algorithms (PSO, DE, GA, ES, and SA). As a result, we have been able to confirm the performance improvements when optimized VDTP configurations are used, validating the results previously obtained through simulation.
