Abstract

We present a novel protocol for fast multi-hop message propagation in the scenario of ad hoc vehicular networks (VANET). Our approach has been designed to gain optimal performance in scenarios that are very likely, but not common in literature. FROV faces asymmetric communications and varying transmission ranges. In this scenario it is able to broadcast any message with the minimal number of hops. Moreover, our proposal is scalable with respect to the number of participating vehicles, and tolerates vehicles that leave or join the platoon. At the current state of development, our protocol is optimal in the case of unidimensional roads and we are studying its extension to a web of urban roads. This paper presents the preliminary results of simulations carried out to verify the feasibility of our proposal.
