Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is an upcoming wireless technology that enables communication between vehicles travelling at high speeds. The ability of VANETs to prevent fatal accidents by relaying data over the network has attracted the attention of both researchers and automobile manufacturers. Data dissemination is one aspect of VANETs used to improve the safety and performance of the vehicles. This paper focuses on developing an efficient data dissemination mechanism to avoid broadcast storm. © 2014 IEEE.
