Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) play an essential role in enabling state-of-the-art and secure communication among different stakeholders in intelligent transportation systems. However, VANETs face unique challenges due to the dynamic nature of communication environments and the need for robust routing. This paper aims to determine the most suitable routing protocol for optimizing network performance in VANETs. This study employs the NS3 network simulator and the SUMO traffic simulator to evaluate the performance of various routing protocols in VANETs. The MAC/PHY layer overheads associated with routing protocols in VANETs have also been evaluated. Understanding and minimizing these overheads is crucial for efficient resource utilization and scalability of the network. The simulation results demonstrate that the AODV routing protocol performs exceptionally well in low and high-vehicle-density scenarios by providing the highest Goodput of 2.146 kbps for 1500 nodes, demonstrating its suitability for VANETs. The findings from this work contribute to a deeper understanding of routing protocol selection for VANETs, emphasizing the effectiveness of AODV in different traffic scenarios.
