Item Enhance Reliability and Security in VANET Using Clustering Based on ANT Colony Optimization and Fuzzy Logic(Wiley, 2026) Khan, Gulista; Kanauzia, Rohit et al.Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) play a crucial role in intelligent transportation by enabling communication between vehicles and infrastructure. However, ensuring secure, reliable, and consistent data transfer remains challenging due to their dynamic nature. This paper proposes a Clustering-Based Ant Colony Optimization (CB-ACO) and Fuzzy Logic algorithm to address these issues. Clustering reduces network load and enhances stability, while ACO selects optimal cluster heads and routes, supported by Fuzzy Logic-based trust assessments for secure access control. Compared to existing algorithms, the proposed method improves packet delivery, reduces latency, and enhances security, offering a robust solution for next-generation VANETs.
