Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the last decade, many vehicles which contain components to monitor different conditions (such as driver monitoring, tire pressure, oil pressure, vehicle speed, acceleration and position) have emerged. Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling the collection of different types of information from a given environment. The integration of results from both trends has led to the emergence of the concept of Internet of Vehicles (IoV). The implementation of IoV requires devices (sensors, personal devices, actuators, among others) to communicate with other devices and the infrastructure using different technologies. Such device interactions face several design challenges such as incompatibility among the devices, different qualities and response times for the Internet connection, limited processing and storage capabilities. To address these challenges, we propose a comprehensive framework that supports a layered design architecture capable of providing seamless integration for inter-device communication into the IoV ecosystem. We also present a review of recently proposed IoV architectures and discuss their salient differences with our proposed architecture.
Highlights
In the last decade, the number of vehicles worldwide has increased from around 900 million in 2006 to over 1 billion in 2014 (McKinsey & Company, 2013; OICA, 2015), and is expected to reach 2 billion by 2035 (Yang, Wang, Li, Liu, & Sun, 2014)
In this work, we propose a seven-layered architecture that includes a D2D interaction model which supports the functionalities, interactions, representations and information exchanges among all the devices making up the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) ecosystem
We have presented a seven-layered architecture for IoV
Summary
The number of vehicles worldwide has increased from around 900 million in 2006 to over 1 billion in 2014 (McKinsey & Company, 2013; OICA, 2015), and is expected to reach 2 billion by 2035 (Yang, Wang, Li, Liu, & Sun, 2014). Seamless IoV integration with the existing network (cellular, WiFi, Long-Term Evolution (LTE)), emerging technologies (Internet of Things (IoT), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Connected vehicles and Cloud Computing) and transportation infrastructures (traffic lights, signs and roadside units (RSUs)) is necessary to enable efficient communications in the IoV environment (Guerrero-Ibanez, Zeadally, & Contreras-Castillo, 2015). In this context, in this work, we propose a seven-layered architecture that includes a D2D interaction model which supports the functionalities, interactions, representations and information exchanges among all the devices making up the IoV ecosystem.
