Efficient Hybrid Clustering Scheme for Data Delivery Using Internet of Things Enabled Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks in Smart City Traffic Congestion

Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANETs) has improved significantly in the recent years, specifically in emerging Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Internet of Things (IoT) enabled VANETs are exceedingly efficient wireless networks which maintain and improve vehicular network safety, network traffic monitoring, and some commercial applications. Conversely, competent routing in IoT enabled VANETs is exigent for many reasons like changeable vehicle density, network size and fading channel due to high motion and natural disorder in metro environments. The main concern in VANET is cluster routing where the presence of less number of vehicles creates greater challenge to send and receive a packet from source to destination. In such scenario, efficient IoT VANET routing plays a major role. We proposed a cluster based IoT enabled routing technique which is based on hybrid scenario that includes both static and dynamic transportation. The technique applied in cluster based routing aids in transmitting packets in a network even with low vehicle density efficiently.
