The Fundamentals and Potential of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) in Today’s Society

Abstract

The IoT concept comes from products that go from the refrigerator to the washing machine, even smart sensors and smart devices that can be connected and regulated by mobile devices. In this sense, as the automotive industry continues to accelerate towards connected cars, more Internet of Vehicles (IoV) solutions, which technology would be similar to the IoT that is already known, but focused on connectivity in vehicles. Thus, the IoV is the possibility for vehicles to connect and exchange information, it is the possibility that vehicles communicate with each other automatically, consisting of a subarea of IoT applied to automobiles. Through IoT technology and mobile technology, people have the feeling of being connected all the time, and through IoV, this possibility is transformed into reality in solution integrated into data, device, and operations management through the implementation of secure and unified network access considering mass data collection and analysis. Representing the innumerable possibility of services can be explored with data and with Information Technology fully integrated with Automation Technology. Besides, IoV is an ecosystem that has an extensive field of intelligent transport systems, with a variety of traffic control solutions, transport management, emergency telecommunications cluster, secure, efficient, and ubiquitous wireless connections. Therefore, this chapter has the mission and objective of providing an updated overview of IoV, it is worth mentioning the novelty of this manuscript is in dealing with the approach to the theme focusing on the role of this technology in modern perspectives, categorizing and synthesizing the potential of the technique.
