Abstract
Vehicular networks can be seen as an example of hybrid delay tolerant network where a mixture of infostations and vehicles can be used to geographically route the information messages to the right location. In this paper we present a forwarding protocol which exploits both the opportunistic nature and the inherent characteristics of the vehicular network in terms of mobility patterns and encounters, and the geographical information present in navigator systems of vehicles. We also report about our evaluation of the protocol over a simulator using realistic vehicular traces and in comparison with other geographical routing protocols.Keywords
