碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊工程系所 === 93 === Inter-vehicle communication (IVC) provides useful applications in future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). An IVC network is a special case of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) with high node mobility. Although various existent MANET technologies can be applied to an IVC network directly, traditional routing protocols such as AODV can not adapt to this rapidly-changing network. To address this problem, we designed and implemented a flooding-based data forwarding protocol. The practical experiments and simulation results in this thesis showed that the proposed protocol is suitable for IVC networks. However, the derived problems such as redundant and out-of-order packets affect the performances and efficiency of the protocol greatly. This thesis also proposes several improvements for those problems.
