Abstract
Survival of a patient depends on effective data communication in healthcare system In this paper an emergency routing protocol for Vehicular Ad hoc Network VANET is proposed to quickly forward the current patient status information from the ambulance to the hospital to provide premedical treatment As the ambulance takes time to reach the hospital ambulance doctor can provide sudden treatment to the patient in emergency by sending patient status information to the hospital through the vehicles using vehicular communication Secondly the experienced doctors respond to the information by quickly sending a treatment information to the ambulance In this protocol data is forwarded through that path which has less link breakage problem between the vehicles This is done by calculating an intersection value I v a l u e for the neighboring intersections by using the current traffic information Then the data is forwarded through that intersection which has minimum I v a l u e Simulation results show VehiHealth performs better than PGEDIR GyTAR ASTAR and GSR routing protocols in terms of average endtoend delay number of link breakage path length and average response time
