The intelligent vehicle clusters concept has been introduced and developed in the Com2React project to overcome some of the limitations of the former REACT research project. Cluster of vehicles together with the regional control center constitute a hierarchical traffic information and communication structure where vehicles on the local level are mainly self-organised but then additionally controlled by the traffic management system on the regional level. The main challenge was to secure the achievements and benefits of the REACT applications and to find a new balance for efficient data processing, communication and utilisation between the different entities in the overall system. The aim here is to give a brief review and analysis of the most important features and benefits of this concept.
