Cloud Computing Enabled External Applications to Car Users using Nomadic Smartphones

Abstract

Vehicle on-boarddiagnostics and vehicle information obtained from devices mounted on roadinfrastructures, detectors located along the roadside are pivotal to Intelligent Transport Systems servicesincluding real time management of driven information. The value of data from driven information has a significant role but the way of extracting by car manufacturers, actors in automotive ecosystem, traffic and road management services differs.In fact, the car manufacturers are also prompted to deliver cloud based applications and others services to car users which should be carried out by cloud computing services layers. In this paper, we present a remote vehicle assignation services cloud computing responsible of real time analysis of vehicle information in one hand and providing internet applications to the car user in other hands by using a vehicle to applications smart phones interface approach that considers the smartphones to acts as a remote users which passes driver inputs and delivers output from external applications.
