Abstract

Vehicular Mesh Network (VMesh) is progressively becoming an important component of modern wireless communication systems, as well as the progress of vehicle technology. VMesh network creates a dynamic short-lived network when vehicle share data during transmission. This article presented a new routing algorithm named as Proficient Routing Algorithm using Heuristic Functions and Random Forest link prediction (PRA-HF-RF) to resolve the major snags in the VMesh milieu such as failure in packet delivery, delay, network congestion, topology changes and protocol overhead. This article addresses the potential path identification using a fitness function and it uses the random forest model to predict communication connections that are expected to remain consistent over time. This article simulates at the both packet and logical levels shows that PRA-HF-RF is constantly higher than existing routing techniques. The results show that the amalgamation of heuristic rules and machine learning methods pointedly reduces the packet loss, delay and network congestion and offers a reliable solution for the VMesh milieu.
