Abstract: Intelligent local data processing within vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) may increase the capabilities of the internet of vehicles (IoVs). To share data effectively, vehicular clusters should be synchronised and stable. Vehicle needs uninterrupted global positioning system (GPS) signal for synchronisation purposes, especially in the urbane environment. GPS interruption leads to an unstable connection that is a big hurdle in developing cost-effective solutions for navigation and route planning applications. To solve this problem a self-location calculation scheme within the vehicular clustering process is proposed. The proposed self-location calculation algorithm enables vehicles to calculate their coordinates in the absence of GPS signals. A clustering mechanism is developed for sharing traffic information system (TIS) data among multiple vehicles over a particular road segment. Sharing of vehicular data in real-time helps vehicles to synchronise well. The developed scheme is simulated and compared with existing known approaches. The results show the better stability of our proposed mechanism over others.
