ABSTRACT
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) have been recently attracting an increasing attention from both research and industry
communities. VANETs are currently deployed on a large scale, research in this area is mostly simulation based. Mobility
models or the movement patterns of nodes communicating wirelessly, play a vital role in determining the protocol
performance in VANET. We still have a limited understanding of the required level of mobility details for modeling and
simulating VANETs. Thus, it is essential to study and analyze various mobility models and their effect on VANET
protocols. In this paper, we examine d different mobility models proposed in the recent research literature. We proposed
Revival Mobility Model (RMM) and evaluate its effect on packet delivery in VANETs by ns-2 simulations.
