Recent advances in hardware, software, and communication technologies are enabling the design and implementation of a whole range of different types of networks that are being deployed in various environments. One such network that has received a lot of interest in the last couple of years is the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET). VANET has become an active area of research, standardization, and development because it has tremendous potential to improve vehicle and road safety, traffic efficiency, and convenience as well as comfort to both drivers and passengers. Dynamic nature of network due to moving vehicle creates complications in design of appropriate comprehensive communication system. In this article we are proposing an effective communication pattern for VANET which efficiently handles the vehicle to vehicle communication and also avoids flooding problem.

Keywords: VANET, Traffic efficiency, Road safety, Effective communication pattern.
