Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks play a crucial role in enabling Smart City applications by facilitating seamless communication between vehicles and infrastructure. This study evaluates the throughput performance of different routing protocols, specifically AODV, AODV:TOM, AODV:DEM, GPSR, GPSR:TOM, GPSR:DEM, under various city highway scenarios complex networks. The analysis covers key parameters including traffic generation, packet sizes, mobility speeds, pause times. Results indicate that TOM DEM profiles significantly improve compared to traditional AODV GPSR protocols. GPSR:TOM achieves highest across most scenarios, making it promising solution for high-performance data transmission Cities. For instance, an average 3.2 Mbps 2.8 while increases 3.6 Mbps. Additionally, AODV:DEM records 3.4 high outperforming AODV:TOM at 3.1 baseline 2.7 findings highlight importance optimizing ensure reliability efficiency vehicle interconnection systems, which are critical management, accident prevention, real-time smart urban environments.
