Abstract: Summary Graph theory is a promising approach in handling the problem of estimating the connectivity probability of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). With a communication network represented as graph, graph connectivity indicators become valid for connectivity analysis of communication networks as well. In this article, we discuss two different graph‐based methods for VANETs connectivity analysis showing that they capture the same behavior as estimated using probabilistic models. The study is, then, extended to include the case of directed VANETs, resulting from the utilization of different communication ranges by different vehicles. Overall, the graph‐based methods prove a robust performance, as they can be simply diversified into scenarios that are too complex to acquire a rigid probabilistic model for them.
