Abstract: The routing protocol was designed for VANET in a city environment. The main objective is finding not only the shortest but the most efficient path for a packet to reach its destination. Packets are routed through the fastest paths as opposed to the shortest. Fastest path is defined as the quickest time for a packet to reach a destination irrespective of distance. While the shortest path is still considered, the routing protocol adapts to the network conditions and performs routing reactively. Making use of the city topology, packets are routed from junctions to junctions. This means that routing decisions are made when a packet arrives at a junction, to decide which path to take next in order to reach the next junction. This process continues until the packet reaches its destination.

Abstract: Hub based labeling is used to determine a shortest path between two locations. Every point has a label, which consists of a set of hubs along with the distance from the point to all those hubs. The hubs are determined that intersect the two labels, and this information is used to find the shortest distance. A hub based labeling technique uses a preprocessing stage and a query stage. Finding the hubs is performed in the preprocessing stage, and finding the intersecting hubs (i.e., the common hubs they share) is performed in the query stage. During preprocessing, a forward label and a reverse label are defined for each vertex. A query is processed using the labels to determine the shortest path. Hub label compression may be used to preserve the use of labels but reduce space usage.
