A Platform for Vehicular Networks in the Cloud to Applications in Intelligent Transportation Systems

Mobility is a major problem in urban centers and vehicular networks have been a focus of study in the attempt to create applications focused on intelligent transport systems (ITS). With that in mind, ITS initiatives act as a possible solution to improve the functioning and performance of traffic systems, reducing congestion and increasing security for citizens. In this way, the present work presents a flexible and extensible platform called i9Vanets, whose objective is the virtualized management through a cloud vehicular network to assist in the solutions of the main challenges related to VANETs. An analysis of laboratory tests is also presented, with the objective of evaluating their performance and operational capacity. Thus, the conclusion of this work was to present the I9Vanet platform and its technical feasibility as well as its possible applications.
