“…On the other hand, the IoT is presently the object of significant research as it will be implemented on a large scale within the next decade or so. Presently, several investigations have developed IoT applications for natural disasters [ 34 , 35 ], generalized and specialized industries [ 36 , 37 , 38 ], smart homes [ 39 , 40 , 41 ], medicine [ 42 , 43 , 44 ], agriculture [ 45 , 46 , 47 ], urban planning and intelligent cities [ 48 , 49 , 50 ] and the design of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) [ 51 , 52 , 53 ]. In the fields of ITS and smart cities, allowing vehicles to be interconnected, forming vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), has enormous applications related to safety, internet connectivity, entertainment, file transfer and importantly, the detection and avoidance of dangerous or problematic traffic conditions [ 54 ].…”
