  In this paper, we propose a distributed Vehicular Dynamic Spectrum Access
(VDSA) framework for vehicles operating in platoon formations. Given the
potential for significant congestion in licensed frequency bands for vehicular
applications such as 5.9 GHz. Our approach proposes to offload part of the
intra-platoon data traffic to spectral white-spaces in order to enhance
vehicular connectivity in support of on-road operations. To enable VDSA, a
Bumblebee-based decision making process is employed which is based on the
behavioral models of animals, is employed to provide a means of distributed
transmission band selection. Simulation results show the distributed VDSA
framework improves the leader packets reception ratio by 5%, thus indicating
its potential to increase in reliability of intra-platoon communications.
