BDI agent based dynamic routing scheme for vehicle-to-vehicle communication in VANETs

Design of routing protocols to send message for safety applications in VANET is an essential and required issue to support smart and intelligent transportation system. This paper aims to design and develop a dynamic routing scheme for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication in VANET under the constraints such as dynamic topology, unpredictable vehicle density, link failure etc., using Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model of cognitive agent. The proposed dynamic routing scheme works as follows: (1) collecting the information such as end-to-end delay and available bandwidth; (2) generation of beliefs based on the collected information; (3) develop the desire based on the belief; (4) select the route if desire is achieved and intention is executed; and (5) reselect the route if intention is not executed. Proposed routing scheme is analyzed in-terms of network life time and packet delivery ratio.
