Data Storage and Management in Vehicular Cloud Computing

Abstract

Vehicular cloud computing (VCC) is an emerging technology providing real time data. VCC is providing a new experience to travellers. VCC enables users to store the data on the move. It helps them to enjoy the cloud applications without investment. Uploading data into VCC offers maintenance free and easy access from anywhere. It provides complete set of resources for storing data for various applications. Huge amount of data is transferred, stored and processed every day. In vehicular cloud, data is distributed among many nodes. It is challenge to maintain, manipulate process and analyse very large amount of data. Due to multiple service providers, the privacy of the data needs to be provided. The goal of this paper is to give a broad overview of data storage and management in vehicular cloud environment and demonstrate the cloud setup using Sim ITS framework.
