Abstract:
Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is deemed as a promising research field with huge potential of benefits. It shall streamline global traveling practices. The main objective of this chapter is to discuss the main research problem, research questions, and research objectives. Moreover, this chapter highlights security challenges and gives an overview of IoV and its modern technologies. Further, limitations, scope, and thesis organization are also mentioned in this chapter. With the continuous increase in urban population, fast expansion of big metropolitan cities, and roadside infrastructure development, the ownership of vehicles is on an exponential rise. Rapid advancement in networking technology, 5G, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling more and more devices to connect to the Internet. Subsequently, the automotive industry is no exception with the addition of sensor embedded internet connected vehicles. The Internet of Vehicle (IoV) is a network of internet-connected vehicles with a fleet of sensors installed onboard to gather process and submit the information. The IoV uses Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) communication patterns which is an emerging research field having a vast impact on the future of global driving culture and are considered essential for the environment. The IoV is an advanced form of VANET with more capabilities including Internet, cloud and edge, fast 5G technologies and standards.
