Architecture and key technologies for Internet of Vehicles: a survey

In recent years, IoV (Internet of Vehicles) has become one of the most active research fields in network and intelligent transportation system. As an open converged network, IoV plays an important role in solving various driving and traffic problems by advanced information and communications technology. We review the existing notions of IoV from different perspectives. Then, we provide our notion from a network point of view and propose a novel IoV architecture with four layers. Particularly, a novel layer named coordinative computing control layer is separated from the application layer. The novel layer is used for solving the coordinative computing and control problems for human-vehicle-environment. After summarizing the key technologies in IoV architecture, we construct a VV (Virtual Vehicle), which is an integrated image of driver and vehicle in networks. VVs can interact with each other in cyber space by providing traffic service and sharing sensing data coordinately, which can solve the communication bottleneck in physical space. Finally, an extended IoV architecture based on VVs is proposed.
