Abstract

In today’s world of emerging success in trending technologies, one of the most open and vast area of wireless communication research is the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET). Incorporating the trending technologies with the growing internet services, and deploying these into Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is one of the open challenges. Therefore, for efficient vehicular network in ITS, in the urban areas as the nodes are mobile therefore clustering of these nodes comes into the picture. Many clustering algorithms are proposed based on different metrics and different results are obtained. This paper attempts to proposed a new clustering procedure where direction, distance, speed and transmission range are considered so as to obtain stable clusters and a weighted value is computed to select cluster head. The simulation results were simulated in NS-2.
