Abstract-In the intelligent transportation systems, many applications and services could be offered in the road via Internet. Providing these applications over vehicular ad hoc network (VANETs) technology may require good performances in routing. The channel fading and quality of received signal are the two main factors which affect the Mobile ad hoc network performances as well as mobility of vehicles, in terms of throughput and delay packets that are relevant to the performance evaluation of the routing protocols. In this paper, we propose an efficient relay selection scheme based on Contention Based Forwarding (CBF) and Fuzzy Logic System (FLS) that considers two important Quality of Service parameters such as link stability, and quality of received signal to select a potential relay vehicle, in order to improve the routing performances in the network. The simulation results show that the proposed relay selection scheme enhances throughput, and decreases packet delay and overhead comparing it with an existing link stability based routing protocol(MBRP) and M-AODV+.
