In this paper, we will focus on the performance evaluation of a vehicular mobility scenario graph. Indeed, we will analyze the performance metrics (throughput, packets loss and end to end delay) using the IEEE 802.11p standard of the proposed mobility graph. In addition, we examine the impact of the packet length, vehicle speed and routing protocols (Ad-Hoc Ondemand Distance Vector “AODV”, Destination Sequenced Distance Vector “DSDV” and DumbAgent). Our simulations are based on the networks simulator “NS-2” and the mobility simulator “VanetMobisim” to evaluate the performance of the vehicular ad hoc network.
