Cloud-Based Secured VANET with Advanced Resource Management and IoV Applications

Abstract

In this chapter, we propose to integrate cloud computing with Vehicular Ad Hoc NETworks (VANETs) so that the vehicles in the network can share network resources and avail of a variety of information collected by them to make useful decisions. We present an architecture that includes a cloud-based VANET. Then, we study the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) application management system in this cloud-based VANET. The proposed architecture facilitates the recognition of available resources in real time. In addition, it provides cloud-based IoV applications to cloud-based VANET enabled vehicles. The presented work also demonstrates a security algorithm suitable for a cloud-based VANET. We propose a distributed methodology for a secure vehicular network to communicate; and demonstrate the potential of our architecture for real-time access to IoV applications in cloud-based VANET environment.
