contents This study aims to optimise the "spray and wait" protocol in delay tolerant networks (DTNs) to improve the performance of information transmission in emergency situations, especially in car accident scenarios. Due to the intermittent connectivity and dynamic environment of DTNs, traditional routing protocols often do not work effectively. In this study, a machine learning method called random forest was used to identify "high-quality" nodes. "High-quality" nodes refer to those with high message delivery success rates and optimal paths. The high-quality node data was filtered according to the node report of successful transmission generated by the One simulator. The node contact report generated by another One simulator was used to calculate the data of the three feature vectors required for training the model. The feature vectors and the high-quality node data were then fed into the model to train the random forest model, which was then able to identify high-quality nodes. The simulation experiment was carried out in the ONE simulator in the Helsinki city centre, with two categories of weekday and holiday scenarios, each with a different number of nodes. Three groups were set up in each category: the original unmodified group, the group with high-quality nodes, and the group with random nodes. The results show that this method of loading high-quality nodes significantly improves the performance of the protocol, increasing the success rate of information transmission and reducing latency. This study not only confirms the feasibility of using advanced machine learning techniques to improve DTN routing protocols, but also lays the foundation for future innovations in emergency communication network management.
