Abstract Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) an important category in networking focuses on many applications, such as safety and intelligent traffic management systems. The high node mobility and sparse vehicle distribution (on the road) compromise VANETs network scalability and rapid topology, hence creating major challenges, such as network physical layout formation, unstable links to enable robust, reliable, and scalable vehicle communication, especially in a dense traffic network. This study discusses a novel optimization approach considering transmission range, node density, speed, direction, and grid size during clustering. Whale Optimization Algorithm for Clustering in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (WOACNET) was introduced to select an optimum cluster head (CH) and was calculated and evaluated based on intelligence and capability. Initially, simulations were performed, Subsequently, rigorous experimentations were conducted on WOACNET. The model was compared and evaluated with state-of-the-art well-established other methods, such as Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Ant Lion Optimization (ALO) employing various performance metrics. The results demonstrate that the developed method performance is well ahead compared to other methods in VANET in terms of cluster head, varying transmission ranges, grid size, and nodes. The developed method results in achieving an overall 46% enhancement in cluster optimization and an F-value of 31.64 compared to other established methods (11.95 and 22.50) consequently, increase in cluster lifetime.
AbstractList [...]these algorithms are easy to understand and easily extendable. [...]these algorithms focus on exploring the whole working space eliminating the local optima problem which is unsuitable for any kind of problem. The network performance in this scenario can be considered by the clustering stability which can be measured by the CH change ratio and conversion ratio of cluster nodes to CH. [...]it is necessary to optimize the CHs for intermittent connectivity and efficient data dissemination. Literature has various clustering algorithms for optimizing the performance of VANETs, including clustering but there is still space to optimize the clustering process for enhancing the overall network performance. [...]Optimization Challenges carry excellent implications within the scientific engineering model along with decision-making application.
