An Analytical Model for Interactive VANET Services

Much progress in the Vehicular Ad Hoc Network(VANET) domain are becoming increasing important in multiple application fields of car-to-car communication. Most research in VANET relies on simulations for evaluation. The mobility model plays an important role to model exact road traffic. However, most mobility models only concern about the mobility without drivers´ reactions. The simulation results without an mathematical model are hard to explain the relationship between the parameters and the performance of the proposed protocols. We provide an analytical model for Interactive VANET services which is easy to modify as the proposed environment. In addition, the performance of proposed services can be tuned up with the analytical model supporting. We show that the simulation results obtained when nodes moving with drivers´ reactions is significantly different from the commonly used mobility model.
