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.enACOfuzzy logicreliabilityvehicular sensor networks (VSNs)Article
