In hilly terrains VANET high speed is the real characteristics which leads frequent breakdown, interference, high noise ratio etc. that further leads to more drainage of the battery. Researchers have elaborated several routing protocols that possess different performance levels. In this paper we studied various Ad hoc routing protocols, Reactive, Proactive & Hybrid, taking in to consideration various VANET parameters like Speed, Altitude etc. in Real traffic Scenario taking battery drainage at the altitude of 1500m. The AODV and DYMO (Reactive), OLSR (Proactive) and ZRP (hybrid) protocols are compared for battery model Panasonic AAA standard using Qualnet as a Simulation tool. Since Energy conservation is main focus area nowadays. Hence performance of the protocols with various battery models counts and helps to make a right selection. Varying parameters of VANET shows that in the real traffic scenarios proactive protocol performs more efficiently for energy conservation leads to minimum drainage.
