Abstract: 

The advancement in technology and networks has led to the introduction of safety systems with vehicles. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks are one of the emerging areas for emergency situation warning since traffic safety is a concern for everyone. VANETs are Ad-Hoc vehicle networks between vehicles equipped with communication facilities. The application areas of VANETs, includes are autonomous vehicles, warning systems, collision avoidance/notification and traffic optimization. Broadcast storm arises due to frequent contention and collisions in transmission among neighboring vehicles. To limit the number of packet transmissions by Cluster Based Efficient- Broadcast (CBE-B) algorithm. The main aim is to broadcast a messages from farthest node and reduce collisions between the nodes. Due to distributed clustering this protocol can overcome challenges of data broadcast storm. Packets will be then forwarded only to selected vehicles, opportunistically elected as cluster-heads. CBE-B performances have been assessed in vehicular scenarios, mostly highway scenarios and performance are measured in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio and Throughput
