Abstract
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have garnered considerable attention due to their potential to improve road safety, traffic efficiency, and passenger comfort. However, VANETs face challenges due to their dynamic nature, which includes fast-moving vehicles and changing network topologies. One of the major challenges is network congestion, which can significantly impact communication performance and hinder the delivery of critical safety messages. Therefore, it is crucial to have effective congestion reduction schemes in place to ensure reliable and efficient communication in VANETs. This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of various congestion reduction schemes designed specifically for VANETs. These schemes are categorized into three main classes: traffic management, routing optimization, and congestion control. For each class, the paper reviews and evaluates state-of-the-art techniques, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and applicability in different VANET scenarios. Additionally, the paper identifies open research challenges and opportunities for future work in the field of congestion reduction in VANETs. By addressing these challenges and exploring the opportunities, we can further enhance the performance and reliability of VANET communication systems.
Keywords: Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks, Network Congestion, Reduction Schemes, Traffic Management, Routing Optimization, Congestion Control.
