Abstract
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) represent an environment in which mobility exceeds the normal values, topology changes rapidly, and safety constraints are too high. The fundamental problem with VANETs is making transmission, acceptance, and sending out of messages between vehicles as timely, reliable, and secure as possible. The current study aims to address these challenges by applying the Snake Optimization Algorithm (SOA), enhancing network protocol efficiency, performance, and robustness. In this work, a comprehensive examination of the effects of optimal SOA on VANET protocols is provided over networks with different node sizes of 100, 250, and 500. End-to-end delay, path delivery overhead, and average number of hops improved after the utilization of SOA in all the considered networl configurations.
