Abstract
Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is a technique that uses cars moved in cities or highways as nodes in wireless networks. Each car in these networks works as a router and allows cars in the range to communicate with each other. As a result of this movement, some cars will become out of range, but these networks can connect to the internet and the cars in these networks can connect to each other. This research proposes a unique clustering strategy to improve the performance of these networks by making their clusters more stable. One of the biggest problems these networks face is traffic data, which consumes network resources. Agent based modeling (ABM) evaluates better networks. The evaluation showed that the proposed strategy surpasses earlier techniques in reachability and throughput, but ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) (on-demand/reactive) outperforms it in total traffic received since our hybrid approach needs more traffic than AODV.
