Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a technology that integrates Ad Hoc network, cellular technology and wireless-LAN to achieve vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The chapter provides a survey of routing protocols in vehicular ad hoc networks, it fall into six categories: Topology-based, Position-based, Cluster-based, Geocast-based, Broadcast-based and Infrastructure-based. In this paper we present recent and new routing protocols focusing on the period between the years 2011 and 2013. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these routing protocols and propose new classification named prediction-based in Topology category used to estimates density of vehicles, node life time or link lifetime to improve routing in VANET.
