The automobile industry has been evolving with rapid growth over the last two decades. Conventionally, the narrow band dedicated short-range communications is used for the wireless connectivity of vehicular networks in the automobile industry. However, due to its shorter wireless range, higher latency, and lower capacity; cellular-assisted vehicular communications can be adopted to improve networks performance by disrupting the nearby infrastructure. The performance of cellular-assisted vehicular communications is typically compromised if jammers are present in their vicinity. Thus, it is important to characterize the interference in cellular-assisted vehicular communications with jammers. In this paper, we investigate jamming interference due to clustered-jammers for vehicular networks by considering that vehicles, road-side units, and pedestrians are modeled using an independent one-dimensional Poisson line process while cellular base stations are modeled using an independent two-dimensional homogeneous Poisson point process. The results show that jamming disrupts the performance of the vehicular networks and that this performance is severely compromised by increasing the density of jamming clusters and their transmission power. Therefore, the prime focus of the system designers should be to introduce anti-jamming scenario, when the transmission power and the number of jamming clusters in a network increase.
