STUDY ON IMPLEMENTATION OF ADHOC, VANET, MANET NETWORK USING SENSING DEVICES FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated systems combining Ad hoc Network, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET), and Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) with smart sensing devices to establish a robust, self-healing communication framework. The proposed system enables real-time data exchange, location tracking, and environment monitoring through interconnected wireless node such as rescue vehicle, drones, and smartphones. Using adaptive routing protocols like AODV, DSR and GPSR, the network ensures efficient packet delivery among mobile and static nodes. The system is scalable, energy-efficient, and rapidly deployable, offering a reliable communication infrastructure for search and rescue operations during disasters.
The integration of smart sensors allows real-time detection of environmental parameters such as temperature, gas leaks and vibration, enhancing situational awareness for rescue teams. The hybrid network architecture supports multi-hop communication and dynamic topology adaption, maintaining connectivity even in harsh or isolated conditions. Simulation results indicate improved packet delivery ratio, reduced latency and stable connectivity compared to traditional single-network systems. The proposed framework demonstrates the potential of combining wireless ad-hoc networks and IoT-based sensing to provide a resilient, cost-effective and adaptive communication solution for disaster response and emergency management applications.
