Performance analysis of cluster formation method in vehicular Ad-hoc networks

Abstract

A wireless network technology is developed as the solution for the transportation business issue, named Vehicular ad-hoc Network (VANETs) in the context of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The vehicle density and speed affect the network performance. This research aims to analyze the performance of cluster formation method on VANET networks. The modeling of Semarang Highway has been used as the scenario object of vehicle density and speed measured by several parameters including cluster overhead, normalized cluster load, packet delivery ratio, and packet loss ratio.
