Abstract:
The Internet of Vehicles is a novel development trend in vehicular networking. Its driving factor is, on one part, the high growth of the vehicles number, including the intelligent ones and the need to solve numerous problems encountered in transportation systems related to safety, traffic management, information and entertainment services, autonomic vehicles challenges and so on. Internet of Vehicles extends the capabilities of the traditional Intelligent Transport System technologies but also takes benefit from new technologies used in Future Internet. It is considered by many authors as a sub-domain of Future Internet and specifically of Internet of Things. Internet of Vehicles will integrate the previous Vehicular Networks and also functionalities already developed in ITS. However, there is no unique definition of what Internet of Vehicles exactly is; some concepts and architectural aspects are still open research issues. This paper is not an exhaustive survey; it attempts a comparative critical analysis of several functional architectures and systems proposed for Internet of Vehicles. Recent approaches Fog/Edge computing – based systems and Software Defined Networking are also considered. An enriched SDN/Fog based architecture is proposed.
