Safe driving is a vital component of automotive industry. According to WHO’s report, 1.2 million deaths occurred each year on account of road accidents indicating an exponential increase in the number of fatalities year by year due to the increment of vehicles on the road. The avoidance of possible road accidents, minimization of carbon emission, efficient fuel consumption, enhanced driver safety and comfort, identification of faster routes, saving resources are the prospects of automobile manufacturers and research. The ability of vehicle communication with other vehicles and other elements could significantly upgrade the safety and driving systems. Thus, it is much needed to build an intelligent transport system (ITS) with aid of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the form of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) for the vehicular grid. The objective of IoV is to connect a global network and communicating with each other by enabling high mobility, safety-critical applications, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, security, and privacy.
IoV is also termed a vehicle ad-hoc network (VANET), which consists of a sensing platform, networking platform, and application platform. The sensing platform consists of internal sensors like brakes, accelerator, driver’s state of health (Ford heart monitor seat), and so on and external sensors like GPS, cameras, Lidar, and so on. The principle working of networking platform ensures connectivity of vehicular communication technologies such as WAVE, DSRC, Bluetooth, ZigBee, GSM, 3G, LTE, 5G between V2I (Vehicle to Infrastructure), V2V, V2P (vehicle to pedestrian), V2S (vehicle to sensors). The application platform does the processing of inputs received via communication tools and takes decisions such as weather forecast, traffic management, electronic toll collection, parking assistance. All these functions from efficient communication to processing the correct decisions via these platforms specifically designed for vehicles are called Vehicle Cloud. A vehicle cloud can compute intelligent routing, deliver security and privacy of each data, and validate the crowdsourced information. This chapter covers the description regarding the above topics, future challenges in understanding the connectivity of vehicles, enhancing technologies, and network architecture of IoV. At the end of the chapter, the future of IoV is also presented and discussed.
