Mobility models, which determine the movement pattern of nodes communicating wirelessly, play a vital role in the simulation-based evaluation of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks. Realistic mobility models enable us to assess the network performance more accurately, and it is required to design a realistic mobility model that mimics the real vehicle scenario. This paper made an attempt to bring out a suitable mobility model for vehicular networks, which improves the network performance in accordance with string stability, by incorporating the concept of Fuzzy Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control mechanism among a platoon of vehicles. The experimental study and analysis find that fuzziness improves the performance of the network in terms of packet delay ratio, delay and throughput.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
