In order to provision data messages to vehicular drivers in an ad hoc network setting, it is essential to determine the end-to-end (e2e) delay, number of vehicles required, and the size of the vehicles' buffers needed to hold packets. In this paper, using vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in a typical city scenario based on a 3x3 km Manhattan mobility model, we have studied the impact of the aforementioned parameters and original simulation results are reported. We have also studied the effectiveness of our approach under varying degrees of market penetration of instrumented vehicles, hence establishing useful thresholds in realistic scenarios. Furthermore, by introducing different configurations of drop boxes, we have shown that the packet dropping probability (PDP) and e2e delay can be significantly reduced.
