The Next Generation of Internet of Things: Internet of Vehicles

The IoV integrates many important features of the IoT in order to provide numerous new services with advantages for humans and society, in which many sensor nodes are developed for the IoT, such as home appliances, including televisions and refrigerators, and health-related equipment, including heart rate sensors and foot pod meters. However, the IoV products are less developed at present. Hence, we should survey related sensor devices to implement on the vehicles in the future works and then integrate the current research on SDMS and MFSS to achieve vehicle-to-sensor interactions. In order to achieve the desired goal of zero traffic accidents, all information in the vehicle is collected through sensor devices, included in safety messages and forwarded to other vehicles or drivers. The future scheme should be extented to gather, share, process, compute, and release secure information to other humans, vehicles, devices and roadside services. The development and deployment of fully connected vehicles requires a combination of various IoT technologies. From the perspective of commercial value we can see that the future of economies of scale is to be expected, and from the perspective of extending technological development we can see that there are further contributions to be made.
