Over-/underspeeding is one of the leading causes of road accidents. Traditional systems of detecting and reporting speed-limit violations are not suitable for smart cities. Even the sophisticated conventional systems that use cameras or RFIDs for automating speed-limit violations have several drawbacks, including cost, complexity, reliability, and maintenance. In this paper, we present two systems based on the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) to automatically detect speed-limit violations and autonomously report the committed violations to the authorities. Our systems require no extra hardware or equipment: only the On-Board Unit (OBU), the Road Side Unit (RSU), and the Cloud Server software have to be updated to have a fully functioning system as long as the IoV infrastructure is deployed. One of the systems will be installed on the OBU. A second alternative system design is to use Cloud Servers (CSs) and the IoV beacons that are sent from the vehicles. Additionally, unlike the existing systems installed in specific locations, all roads in the smart cities and highways will be fully monitored. Adaptive fine calculation according to new dynamic policies can be easily integrated into the proposed system. Furthermore, the proposed system can accurately operate in all weather conditions. Moreover, it allows the dynamic adjustment of the speed limits according to the current weather conditions. We have validated the proposed system by building a prototype system that effectively and accurately detects and reports over-/underspeed traffic violations alongside any road.

5G Network

This paper is based on research into the representation of modern Information Technology using the 5G network, which gives us great technological opportunities in the automotive industry. The Internet of Things (IoT) gives us great opportunities for smart cities, namely, smart streets that are driven by technologically advanced new generation cars equipped with smart vehicle control devices suitable for all traffic conditions, ranging from heavy traffic jams to various weather conditions. 5G is literally driving innovation, as 5G is an important technology for the automotive industry. With 5G we get better coverage, higher capacity, lower latencies (wait times) and much higher data rates. This will allow your car not only to use Spotifi (a free music streaming and playback app) for the long haul, but will also improve the ride itself, gathering information from other cars, pedestrians, traffic lights and even the road itself. It is run by a cloud-based computer (thousands of computers in particular) that calculates and adjusts our vehicle every millisecond (current situation). The self-contained "intelligence" of our car from our own computer will be present as a backup in case we lose our internet connection or play an ancillary role in managing the vehicle. Even without the internet, 5G communication between cars and cars, roads and pedestrians would play an important role in safely switching from A to B.

It had been predicted that by 2020, nearly 26 billion devices would be connected to the Internet, with a big percentage being vehicles. The Internet of Vehicles (IoVa) is a concept that refers to the connection and cooperation of smart vehicles and devices in a network through the generation, transmission, and processing of data that aims at improving traffic congestion, travel time, and comfort, all the while reducing pollution and accidents. However, this transmission of sensitive data (e.g., location) needs to occur with defined security properties to safeguard vehicles and their drivers since attackers could use this data. Blockchain is a fairly recent technology that guarantees trust between nodes through cryptography mechanisms and consensus protocols in distributed, untrustful environments, like IoV networks. Much research has been done in implementing the former in the latter to impressive results, as Blockchain can cover and offer solutions to many IoV problems. However, these implementations have to deal with the challenge of IoV node’s resource constraints since they do not suffice for the computational and energy requirements of traditional Blockchain systems, which is one of the biggest limitations of Blockchain implementations in IoV. Finally, these two technologies can be used to build the foundations for smart cities, enabling new application models and better results for end-users.

The concept of smart cities has become prominent in modern metropolises due to the emergence of embedded and connected smart devices, systems, and technologies. They have enabled the connection of every “thing” to the Internet. Therefore, in the upcoming era of the Internet of Things, the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) will play a crucial role in newly developed smart cities. The IoV has the potential to solve various traffic and road safety problems effectively in order to prevent fatal crashes. However, a particular challenge in the IoV, especially in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications, is to ensure fast, secure transmission and accurate recording of the data. In order to overcome these challenges, this work is adapting Blockchain technology for real time application (RTA) to solve Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications problems. Therefore, the main novelty of this paper is to develop a Blockchain-based IoT system in order to establish secure communication and create an entirely decentralized cloud computing platform. Moreover, the authors qualitatively tested the performance and resilience of the proposed system against common security attacks. Computational tests showed that the proposed solution solved the main challenges of Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications such as security, centralization, and lack of privacy. In addition, it guaranteed an easy data exchange between different actors of intelligent transportation systems.

Vehicular Adhoc Networks

Researchers found that Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) can be considered since it is the important communication protocol for internet access during driving, location privacy in Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANET). TCP/IP allows devices to interact online. A unique IP address allows each device to communicate with each other over the internet. From the desktop computers to tablets, to PS4s, to mobile phones, to cars, to airplanes, to IP enabled washers and dryers, lot of things will be connected online. It needs a lot more addresses than that are available today. IPv6 was created in the mid-’90s to make the internet grow. It is not backward compatible with IP version 4, but both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols can run simultaneously over the same wires. This requires a transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and vice-versa. The IPv6 layer is a vital issue in the field of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The vehicles possess heterogeneous devices like sensors, Global Positioning System (GPS), IPv4 addressing and IPv6 addressing. IPv4 addresses are depleting and IPv6 addressing came into existence. When the Road Side Unit (RSU) communicate with gateway and with vehicular cloud using IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, compatibility issues occur. This paper mainly focuses on the IPv4/IPv6 compatibility issues and the possible solutions to overcome the compatibility issues during the dissemination of data in VANET

Recently, the commercial potentials and practical values of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) have been witnessed for sustainable development of smart cities in the field of intelligent transportation. Driven by the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), vehicles gradually become mobile living spaces to satisfy diverse demands of occupants, where the media functionalities, scenario scopes, and user engagements can be all expended dramatically. In the era of 5G/B5G, the intelligent connected vehicles are considered as super media because of the improved In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI). In this paper, relying on the advanced communication and intelligent techniques, we investigate the IoV-based vehicle-mounted media scenarios and construct IVI solutions for the MaaS. Firstly, we propose the characteristics of vehicle-mounted media scenarios and present the IVI evolution from the aspects of hearing, vision and multi-sensory media services. Secondly, we point out the main features and limitations of IoV-based IVI in 3G/4G. Finally, exploring the potential of super media, both the linkage display and IVI collaborative modes in vehicle-centric media scenarios are introduced as IVI solutions for the MaaS in 5G-V2X and beyond, which intend to further improve the audio-visual experiences of occupants and observers in urban environments.

As more and more people drive cars and vehicles, there is a corresponding increase in the number of fatalities that occur due to accidents. As these vehicles are increasingly being connected to the Internet of things (IoT), they form the Internet of vehicles (IoV).  Thus, IoV is the convergence of the mobile Internet and IoT. It is an emerging field for the automotive industry and an important part of the smart cities. This paper provides a brief introduction to Internet of Vehicles (IoV).

Pricing System

Alleviating traffic congestion is one of the main challenges for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) in smart cities. Many congestion pricing systems have been proposed recently. However, most of them focus on punishing the vehicles that use certain roads during peak hours, neglecting the proven fact that rewards can encourage drivers to follow the rules. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new congestion pricing system based on reward and punishment policies for the IoV in a smart city environment, where the vehicles are rewarded for voluntarily choosing to take an alternative path to alleviate traffic congestion. The proposed system is implemented using vehicular ad hoc networks, which eliminate the need for installing a costly electronic toll collection system. We propose a new virtual currency called T-Coin (traffic coin), that is used to reward the vehicles for their positive attitude. T-Coin is also used in the tender between vehicles to manage the road reservation process. The proposed system uses dynamic pricing to adapt to peak-hour traffic congestion. Using simulated traffic on a real map of Beijing city, we prove the usefulness of T-Coin as a traffic congestion pricing system.
