Abstract: Road congestion, parking difficulty, and collision is very prominent in advanced and developing countries. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), with wireless technique has solution to these problems through the application of vehicular technology. The wireless deployment, safety and non-safety applications in vehicular communications can be achieved with proper implementation of network metrics. It is very clear and of no doubt that more research in wireless applications for vehicular networks is on the increase due its application in this modern era. Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) has paved way for these applications in informatics, parking/congestion control, and safety application via the knowledge of the ITS. In this paper, we have made investigations on some performance metrics that have impact in the analysis of vehicular communications. We will use these metrics in our future work, to analysis the performance of vehicle networks with other rate algorithms using OMNET++ as implemented here.
