Abstract Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) play main role in the design and
development of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) who improves the road
safety and transportation productivity. VANETs include two communication types i.e.
Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Roadside (V2R) communications. One of
the most important challenges of this kind of network are the timely, safely and
reliable dissemination of messages between vehicular nodes which permits the
drivers to take appropriate decisions to improve the road safety. There are many
routing protocols for VANETs which can support the reliability and safety for
routing. These protocols undergo the several limitations including complexity, lack
of scalability, end to end delay, routing overheads, etc. To remove these limitations,
various bio inspired methodologies have been proposed for routing among vehicular
nodes in an optimized way. Here in this paper, various bio inspired routing algorithms
for the VANET are discussed.

A Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) are considered as a specific type of Mobile
Ad hoc Network (MANET) which contains the of a set of mobile nodes (Vehicles)
