In this paper, we present a dynamic navigation approach (DNA) that can be combined
with GPS receivers, digital maps, and wireless technologies such as DSRC, 802.11p,
and WiMAX. By calculating the score, a weighted sum of average vehicle speed, average
inter-vehicle distance, road type, and road gain, for each candidate road, the DNA
can generate a road score table and choose the road with the highest score among the
candidate roads toward the destination. In addition, a dynamic rebroadcasting block
(DRB) is designed in the DNA to carry out Road-Request (R-REQ) rebroadcasting function.
The DRB mechanism can prevent from network congestion incurred by R-REQ rebroadcasting.
The performance of our proposed DNA is evaluated through simulations.
Simulation results have shown that the DNA performs much better than other navigational
schemes in reaching a destination with shorter travel distance and less travel time.
