In vehicular networks, since many applications use multi-hop broadcast to exchange traffic and road information, broadcasting has become a critical component. In this paper using fuzzy logic techniques, we propose a receiver-based intelligent broadcast protocol. Relying on coverage, connectivity, and mobility factors calculated by a receiver node, the fuzzy logic system decides if the node is required to rebroadcast or not. Ns-3 simulations have been developed to investigate the effectiveness of our proposed system in terms of reachability, the average number of rebroadcasts per covered node, and bytes sent per covered node. The proposed protocol is shown to perform better than DTM, DADCQ, and SLAB protocols.
