Road traffic has become an important challenge in modern cities due to the
continuous increase in the number of vehicles and the growing complexity of transportation systems. Congestion, road accidents, unsafe driving behavior, close distances between vehicles, and driver fatigue are problems that affect both safety and traffic flow every day. These challenges highlight the need for smarter transportation solutions capable of improving road monitoring and helping drivers make safer decisions. In this work, we focused on Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) and Vehicle-to- Vehicle (V2V) communication technologies as part of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The main idea behind these technologies is to allow vehicles to communicate with each other in real time by exchanging important information about traffic conditions, vehicle movement, and possible dangers on the road. To study this concept, we carried out simulations based on Saida City using SUMO and NS-3. We analyzed and compared three routing protocols— AODV, OLSR, and DSDV—under different traffic densities. The evaluation was based on important performance metrics such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), throughput, delay, and jitter. From the obtained results, we found that AODV achieved the best overall performance compared to OLSR and DSDV. AODV showed better Packet Delivery Ratio and more stable communication, especially in dynamic vehicular environments with changing vehicle density. This demonstrates that reactive routing protocols are more suitable for highly mobile VANET scenarios where maintaining reliable communication is essential for traffic monitoring and safety applications. We also investigated the role of safety messages in improving road safety by evaluating Basic Safety Messages (BSM) and Decentralized Environmental Notification Messages (DENM). The results showed that both messages play an important role in vehicular communication, but DENM proved to be more effective for safety-critical situations because it provides event-driven alerts about accidents, hazards, or dangerous road conditions. This allows vehicles and drivers to react quickly to unexpected events. On the other hand, BSM remains essential for continuous awareness by regularly sharing vehicle information such as speed, direction, and position. Overall, we demonstrated that connected vehicle technologies can significantly improve road safety and traffic efficiency. As future work, we can extend this study by evaluating additional routing protocols, larger traffic scenarios, and advanced communication technologies to further improve the reliability and efficiency of intelligent transportation systems and combination of efficient routing protocols such as AODV and intelligent safety messaging systems like DENM to reduce accidents, improve driver awareness, and support smarter transportation systems |
