Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) has increased its popularity in the modern era of communication and promises to provide ubiquitous connectivity, ultra-reliable, and low-latency transmissions. In day-to-day scenario, accidents or vehicular congestion may lead to a major problem and form a Traffic Congested Zone (TCZ). To overcome this situation relay-assisted vehicular communication is used to transmit the emergency and alert information in TCZ. Selecting the relay vehicle in the dynamic vehicular environment with high node density results in difficulties as network stability and also securing the vehicle's communication remains one of the prevailing concerns in VANET applications. The proposed scheme jointly focuses on both optimal relay vehicle (RVOBU) selection and ensuring the security of RVOBU in TCZ. Initially, the location of the traffic-congested zone (TCZ), emergency/alert information, and security parameters of each vehicle are identified and stored in temporary supporting database (TS-DB) entries that are attached to each RSU. The optimal RVOBU is then selected by using the cluster-based grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) and securing the RVOBU using a modified aka algorithm. Finally, an optimal and secured RVOBU is selected by verification with original and TS-DB entries. The results are compared with other optimization techniques and security is analyzed with existing work. The proposed strategy significantly forms a minimum number of a cluster with optimal RVOBU and deliberates the objective value with secured RVOBU in each iteration. As the result, the proposed scheme outperforms the existing scheme in terms of cluster lifetime, load balancing factor, verification delay, packet delivery ratio (PDR), communication overhead, and computation time.
