This book details the architecture behind smart cars being fitted and connected with vehicular cloud computing, IoT and VANET as part of the intelligent transport system (ITS).

As technology continues to weave itself more tightly into everyday life, socioeconomic development has become intricately tied to ever-evolving innovations. An example of this is the technology being developed to address the massive increase in the number of vehicles on the road, which has resulted in more traffic congestion and road accidents. This challenge is being addressed by developing new technologies to optimize traffic management operations.

Current progress in wireless communication, computing paradigms and the internet of things (IoT) have resulted in the enhancement of intelligent devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities and high-efficiency processors. As a result of the development of wireless technologies there has been a rapid growth in the use of the IoT, cloud computing and the number of smart vehicles, and along with it the demand for smart devices, such as smartphones, PDAs, smart watches, smart TVs, laptops, etc., connected to the cloud. However, conventional vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) face several technical challenges in deployment due to less flexibility, poor connectivity, and inadequate intelligence. Cloud computing, vehicular cloud computing, IoT and VANET are the major components in the current intelligent transport system (ITS). Various research studies on VANETs, cloud concepts and the IoT show that they have significant effects on smart transportation systems.

This book describes the state-of-the-art of the recent developments of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing-based concepts that have been introduced to improve Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANET) with advanced cellular networks such as 5G networks and vehicular cloud concepts. 5G cellular networks provide consistent, faster and more reliable connections within the vehicular mobile nodes. By 2030, 5G networks will deliver the virtual reality content in VANET which will support vehicle navigation with real time communications capabilities, improving road safety and enhanced passenger comfort.

In particular, the reader will learn:

• A range of new concepts in VANETs, integration with cloud computing and IoT, emerging wireless networking and computing models
  
• New VANET architecture, technology gap, business opportunities, future applications, worldwide applicability, challenges and drawbacks
  
• Details of the significance of 5G Networks in VANET, vehicular cloud computing, edge (fog) computing based on VANET.

Audience:
The book will be widely used by researchers, automotive industry engineers, technology developers, system architects, IT specialists, policymakers and students.
