Project Summary

The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions to connect billions of sensors to the Internet, in order to provide new applications and services for smart cities. IoT will allow the evolution of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) from existing Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), in which the delivery of various services will be offered to drivers by integrating vehicles, sensors, and mobile devices into a global network.

To serve VANET with computational resources, Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) is recently envisioned with the objective of providing traffic solutions to improve our daily driving. These solutions involve applications and services for the benefit of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which represent an important part of IoV.

Project Objectives

• Our main objective is to provide better connectivity and therefore better services for driver convenience. We follow the pull-based model in which an interested vehicle can send a query on demand to a faraway location within the city, and receive a reply through IoV within reasonable delay. Vehicles participating in IoV will cooperate in providing a meaningful response by sensing and processing data with the aid of vehicular cloud. Our model borrows the functions of SaaS and IaaS from mobile cloud computing .
• Software as a service (SaaS): At SaaS level, real-time traffic information could be shared with the subscribed users. Travel convenience services and P2P applications are suitable to be used as SaaS .
• At IaaS level, the potential services provided by VCs is Network as a Service (NaaS) where a vehicular node moving on the road might be used as a Wi-Fi access point gateway to the Internet. 

Project Implementation Method

Our project provides several benefits to drivers seeking traffic information for convenience purposes, by providing pull-based services on demand. In addition to design considerations, we describe a data collection service scenario that can involve our proposed model with low penetration rate. In our future work, we are interested in designing efficient communication and data collection algorithm, with the consideration of data access issues in vehicular environments.

Benefits of the Project

Trust Management In ITS applications, the VC sometimes requires to have local authority for taking actions or making decisions instead of a central authority

The Interoperability of Different Clouds Different types of clouds are anticipated to emerge in the near future. These clouds may interact with each other and connect on demand to the Internet cloud in real time scenarios

Security VC suffers from the same security challenges of Cloud Computing, Since most of vehicular systems rely on location information, it is essential to ensure the secure location and localization.
