Abstract
Due to increasing both safety and efficiency of the traffic, Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a promising technology of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Unique characteristics of VANETs including high mobility and strict delay constraints, require new routing solutions specific to these networks to be proposed. As one of those solutions, topology-based routing approaches aim to find the shortest path by managing routing tables. In this paper, recent topology-based routing approaches for VANETs are investigated in detail. Proactive, reactive and hybrid solutions are compared with respect to their advantages, disadvantages, updating procedures and network sizes. This paper will shed light on future studies since it provides detailed information about the current status of the literature in topology-based routing approaches in VANETs.
