Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network is a special form of mobile ad -hoc networks (MANETs) which is a vehicle to vehicle and vehicle roadside wireless communication network. VANET is a new standard that integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other mobile connectivity protocols. The essential requirement of VANET is that it should be able to communicate in any environment irrespective of traffic densities and vehicle locations. Vehicular communications are made in fluctuating environment and should work both in urban and rural areas. Considering the large number of nodes participating in these networks and their high mobility, debates still exist about the feasibility of routing protocols. Analyzes of traditional routing protocols for MANETs demonstrated that their performance is poor in VANETs. The main problem with these protocols in VANETs environments is their route instability. Consequently, many packets are dropped and the overhead due to route repairs or failure notifications increases significantly, leading to low delivery ratios and high transmission delays. This paper introduces a multi-agent system approach to solve the problems mentioned above and improve Vehicular ad-hoc network routing.
