Vehicle surroundings are dynamic and movable, which poses special problems for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). For the provision of different services, traffic control, and road safety, effective vehicle-to-vehicle communication is essential. The Vulture Optimization Algorithm based Hierarchical Routing Strategy (VOA-HRS), a revolutionary approach created especially to handle the complexities of routing in VANETs, is introduced in this study. To improve the efficiency and dependability of data transfer in automotive networks, VOA-HRS establishes a hierarchical routing system based on the concepts of the Vulture Optimization Algorithm. Because of the hierarchical architecture, communication within clusters may be effectively organized and managed by designating cluster heads according to predetermined criteria. The architecture, design, and implementation of VOA-HRS are covered in this research work, along with performance assessments utilizing important metrics such routing overhead, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay. The simulation findings show encouraging gains in network performance and routing efficiency, proving the practicality and efficacy of VOA-HRS in resolving routing issues in VANETs.
