Vehicular wireless networks are prospective tools
which contribute to safer and more efficient roads. Therefore,
they require the design and development of new communication
protocols that should constitute the building blocks of future
vehicular communication architecture. Many works have been
carried out in this wide research area. In this paper, we propose
a reliable distance-based broadcast protocol to deliver safety
information to nodes located in a geographical area when an
emergency event occurs. Simulation results show that the proposed
protocol achieves its design goal of delivering information
in a rapid and efficient manner. Furthermore, we conclude that
our proposal performs better in terms of information reception
delay as well as redundancy factor as compared to a scheme
inspired from previous proposed schemes.
