Ease of self-driving technological developments revives Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) and motivates the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to develop novel intelligent solutions to amplify the VANET safety and efficiency. Collision warning system plays a significant role in VANET due to the avoidance of fatalities in vehicle crashes. Different kinds of collision warning systems have been designed for diverse VANET scenarios. Among them, reinforcement-based machine learning algorithms receive much attention due to the dispensable of explicit modeling about the environment. However, it is a censorious task to retrieve the Q-learning parameters from the dynamic VANET environment effectively. To handle such issue and safer the VANET driving environment, this paper proposes a cloud aided pliable Q-Learning based Collision Warning Prediction and Safety message Dissemination (QCP-SD). The proposed QCP-SD integrates two mechanisms that are pliable Q-learning based collision prediction and Safety alert Message Dissemination. Firstly, the designing of pliable Q-learning parameters based on dynamic VANET factors with Q-learning enhances collision prediction accuracy. Further, it estimates the novel metric named as Collision Risk Factor (CRF) and minimizes the driving risks due to vehicle crashes. The execution of pliable Q-learning only at RSUs minimizes the vehicle burden and reduces the design complexity. Secondly, the QCP-SD sends alerts to the vehicles in the risky region through highly efficient next-hop disseminators selected based on a multi-attribute cost value. Moreover, the performance of QCP-SD is evaluated through Network Simulator (NS-2). The efficiency is analyzed using the performance metrics that are duplicate packet, latency, packet loss, packet delivery ratio, secondary collision, throughput, and overhead.
