A seven-layered model architecture for Internet of Vehicles

Abstract

In the last decade, many vehicles which contain components to monitor different conditions (such as driver monitoring, tire pressure, oil pressure, vehicle speed, acceleration and position) have emerged. Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling the collection of different types of information from a given environment. The integration of results from both trends has led to the emergence of the concept of Internet of Vehicles (IoV). The implementation of IoV requires devices (sensors, personal devices, actuators, among others) to communicate with other devices and the infrastructure using different technologies. Such device interactions face several design challenges such as incompatibility among the devices, different qualities and response times for the Internet connection, limited processing and storage capabilities. To address these challenges, we propose a comprehensive framework that supports a layered design architecture capable of providing seamless integration for inter-device communication into the IoV ecosystem. We also present a review of recently proposed IoV architectures and discuss their salient differences with our proposed architecture.

A Customer Feedback Platform for Vehicle Manufacturing Compliant with Industry 4.0 Vision

“…Vehicles manufactured today have several embedded sensors that are able to monitor numerous vehicle characteristics, such as: speed, engine temperature, brake operation, and a series of other information. Most of these vehicles can be connected with various types of devices (sensors, telephones, cameras), wireless communication protocols and broadcast media [ 1 , 2 ].…”

Implementing a Novel Use of Multicriteria Decision Analysis to Select IIoT Platforms for Smart Manufacturing

“…Table 1 shows the summary of the various multi-layer architectures found in the literature. Devices, Communication and Application [10-12] 4 Devices, Communication, Transport and Application [9,12-16] 5 Devices, Local processing, Communication, Transport and Applications [12] 7 Business, Management, Communication, Processing, Acquisition, User interaction and Security [15,17] 8 Physical devices, Communication, Edge or Fog processing, Data storage, Applications, Collaboration and process, Security [18] Technical architecture provides an extreme value to users because it can be implemented with different products. Therefore, it is understandable that several companies offer IIoT platforms that can be useful for our architectures.…”

The Future of Emerging IoT Paradigms: Architectures and Technologies

“…Consequently, these applications demonstrate limitations in interoperability due to information security, accessibility, interference, and availability. Several attempts have been proposed to increase interoperability and to develop multi-platform architectures which enhance interactions between hardware objects (e.g., vehicles and devices) in an IoV environment [135]; [89]; [141]; [78]; [43].…”

“…To further clarify and simplify functionalities of each layer and standardize protocols, Contreras-Castillo, Zeadally, and Ibanez [43] proposed a seven-layer architecture which comprises user interaction, acquisition, pre-processing, communication, management, business, and security. The inter-action layer aims to design friendly user interfaces for a vehicular internal operating system.…”
