Vehicular Cloud Computing: leading towards tomorrow’s Internet of Vehicles
Mohammad Pasha · 2015
Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) adapts from the fact that Vehicular Nodes can use their on-board Computational power, Storage and Communicational resources to interact with the Cyber-Physical elements possible in ways as never before. Through this survey we identify Vehicular Cloud Computing as an essential stepping stone towards visualizing the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) eco-system to integrate Mobile Adhoc Networks, Wireless Sensor Networks, Mobile Computing and Cloud Computing. We provide an in-depth classification on the state of the art of Vehicular Cloud computing by drawing a relationship between the existing domains and Internet of Vehicles through a review of the works carried recently in literature. We compare and contrast Vehicular Cloud Computing with other similar fields to gain a better insight of the subject. Finally we present the open issues and challenges that need the utmost attention in realizing tomorrow’s cyber-physical systems
