The Impact of Obstacle on the Performance of Vehicular Ad hoc
Network

Abstract
Recently, Vehicular Ad hoc network (VANeT) has gain popularity due to the increase in vehicle safety and reducing traffic jam in urban and highway environment. Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment (WAVE) which is part of Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) protocol was developed to adapt to VANeT requirements to support vehicle communication and Intelligent Transport System (ITS). The dissertation focuses on simulating how obstacles affect the performance of VANeT communication. Communication takes place using Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-toInfrastructure (V2I) architecture with emphasis on Line of Sight (LOS) and Non-line of Sight (NLOS) transmission by the measuring total number of successful and unsuccessful packets decoded. The simulation was implemented using open source Veins framework which runs on OMNeT++ engine, coupled with SUMO which provides a realistic microsimulation for vehicles. The research is limited to Northampton town centre, Avenue and Park Campus surroundings. The environments were implemented with low, medium and high vehicle density with message broadcast throughout the simulation run time. Results generated were evaluated and analysed. Final results suggest that LOS and NLOS transmission play a role on different circumstances with regard to VANeT architecture and application. Finally, this project is the continuation of interim report written earlier.
