Abstract
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETS) have actually attracted a lot of attention over the last few years as being used to improve road safety. In this paper, cluster based technique has been introduced in VANET. As VANET is a new form of MANET, so with this cluster based technique in VANET, several handoff problems have been removed, which were actually difficult to remove in MANET. For this traffic infrastructure cluster based routing has been used, with two routing protocols i.e. AODV and AODV+. The network simulator NS2 has been used for removing unpredictable movements that may arise in the network.

MANET [5]: A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring infrastructure less network of mobile devices connected by wireless links. Ad hoc is Latin and means “for this purpose”. Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently.
