Abstract |
|
The Internet of Vehicles (IoV), which is seemed as an important application of the Internet of Things (IoT) presented
widely as the next revolution toward massively distributed information in practice, where any real-world vehicles can
automatically participate in the internet and thus be globally queried, is still a new field. Despite the consensus on the great
potential of the concept and the significant progress in a number of enabling technologies, there is short of an integrated vision
on how to realize it. This paper examines the technologies that will be fundamental for realizing the IoV and proposes a
functional architecture that integrates them into a single platform. The functional architecture introduces the use of Bidirectional
security authentication framework to encapsulate dedicated short range communication (DSRC) protocol, sensor
technologies (On-Board Unit and Road-Side Unit), embedded object logic, and Internet-based information infrastructure. It was
applied to evaluate urban transportation dimension and, indirectly, road upkeep, as well as sharing urban population
information, in real time, in any place through Intranet and/or Internet, aiding the whole integration of the municipal affairs
system. Apart from accessibility advantages for drivers, there are important benefits for municipal administration. Our system
outperforms existing industry standards in metrics such as network throughput, delivery ratio and allows different
configurations that provide different levels of equipment availability, using fewer resources than a conventional transportation
management system, and reducing time and costs. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility, flexibility, security, and concurrency
of the architecture by detailing an implementation, and describe a prototype for the real-time monitoring of traffic flow through
an intelligent transportation management system, which can lay a good foundation for the application of IoV in the future. |
