Cloud vehicular networks are a promising paradigm to improve vehicular through distributing computation tasks between remote clouds and local vehicular terminals. Software-Defined Network(SDN) can bring advantages to Intelligent Transportation System(ITS) through its ability to provide flexibility and programmability through a logically centralized controlled cluster that has a full comprehension of view of the network. However, as the SDN paradigm is currently studied in vehicular ad hoc networks(VANETs), adapting it to work on cloud-based vehicular network requires some changes to address particular computation features such as task computation of applications of cloud-based vehicular networks. There has been initial work on briging SDN concepts to vehicular networks to reduce the latency by using the fog computing technology, but most of these studies do not directly tackle the issue of task computation. This paper proposes a Software-Defined Cloud-based vehicular Network called SDCVN framework. In this framework, we study the effectiveness of task computation of applications of cloud-based vehicular networks with vehicular cloud and roadside edge cloud. Considering the edge cloud service migration due to the vehicle mobility, we present an efficient roadside cloud based controller entity scheme where the tasks are adaptively computed through vehicular cloud mode or roadside computing predictive trajectory decision mode. Simulation results show that our proposal demonstrates a stable and low route setup time in case of installing the forwarding rules of the routing applications because the source node needs to contact the controller once to setup the route.

Recently, a number of solutions were proposed to address the challenges and issues of vehicular networks. Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) is one of the solutions. The vehicular cloud computing is a new hybrid technology that has a remarkable impact on traffic management and road safety by instantly using vehicular resources. In this paper, we study an important vehicular cloud service, content-based delivery, that allows future vehicular cloud applications to store, share and search data totally within the cloud. We design a VCC-based system architecture for efficient sharing of vehicular contents, and propose a Hierarchical Hybrid Content Delivery scheme using Bloom Filter (H2CDBF) for efficient vehicular content delivery in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs). The performance of the proposed H2CDBF is evaluated through an analytical model, and is compared to the proactive content discovery scheme, Bloom-Filter Routing (BFR).

This paper proposes the design of Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (called VCPS) based on vehicular cloud for smart road networks. Our VCPS realizes mobile cloud computing services where vehicles themselves or mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets of drivers or passengers in vehicles) play a role of both cloud server and cloud client in the vehicular cloud. First, this paper describes the architecture of vehicular networks for VCPS and the delay modeling for the event prediction and data delivery, such as a mobile node's travel delay along its navigation path and the packet delivery delay in vehicular networks. Second, the paper explains two VCPS applications as smart road services for the driving efficiency and safety through the vehicular cloud, such as interactive navigation and pedestrian protection. Last, the paper discusses further research issues for VCPS for smart road networks.

최근 주목받는 기술인 차량 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 운전자들에게 다양한 차량 응용 어플리케이션을 위한 클라우드 서비스를 제공해 줄 수 있다. 차량 클라우드는 각각의 차량들이 보유한 리소스를 서로 공유하는 차량들의 집합이다. 차량 클라우드를 형성하기 위해 차량들은 차량 대 차량(Vehicle-to-Vehicle) 통신을 통해 서로 협력해야 한다. 차량 클라우드 형성을 위해 협력하는 차량들은 각각의 속도와 이동 방향 및 현재 위치가 다르므로 차량 클라우드는 다중 홉에 걸쳐 형성되어야 한다. 다중 홉 통신을 이용한 차량 클라우드 형성은 간헐적인 무선 연결성과 제한된 리소스를 보유한 차량의 수가 적은 환경으로 인해 차량 클라우드의 형성이 어렵다. 따라서, 다중 홉 통신 방식을 이용한 차량 클라우드 형성은 차량 간 통신의 안정성을 높여 클라우드의 형성 및 서비스 효율을 높이고, 서비스 지연시간 및 차량 간 교환 패킷의 수 등에서 개선 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문은 요청 차량과 가용 리소스를 제공하는 제공 차량들 간의 연결 시간을 고려하여 클라우드 형성 및 서비스 효율을 높이고 서비스 지연과 전송 패킷의 수를 줄이는 다중 홉 클라우드 형성 방안을 제안한다. 제안 방안은 차량들 사이의 연결 시간을 기반으로 홉과 홉을 연결하기 위한 중간 차량을 선택하여 다중 홉 차량 클라우드 형성의 실패율을 감소시킨다. 다양한 환경에서 수행된 시뮬레이션은 제안 방안이 기존의 방안보다 향상된 성능을 보이는지 검증한다.

This paper comes out with the study on sensing data collection strategy in a Software-Defined Mobile Edge vehicular networking. The two cooperative data dissemination are Direct Vehicular cloud mode and edge cell trajectory prediction decision mode. In direct vehicular cloud, the vehicle observe its neighboring vehicles and sets up vehicular cloud for cooperative sensing data collection, the data collection output can be transmitted from vehicles participating in the cooperative sensing data collection computation to the vehicle on which the sensing data collection request originate through V2V communication. The vehicle on which computation originate will reassemble the computation out-put and send to the closest RSU. The SDMEVN (Software Defined Mobile Edge Vehicular Network) Controller determines how much effort the sensing data collection request requires and calculates the number of RSUs required to support coverage of one RSU to the other. We set up a simulation scenario based on realistic traffic and communication features and demonstrate the scalability of the proposed solution.

무인 자동차의 시대가 도래하면서, 차량 간 통신 네트워크인 Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork(VANET)의 중요성이 점점 더해지고 있다. 지금까지 VANET의 연구가 많이 진행되었으나, 기존의 연구는 각 자동차의 통신적인 측면만 연구하고, 차량에 설치된 On Board Unit(OBU)의 계산 능력, 저장 공간 등을 효율적으로 사용하지 못하는 한계점이 있었다. 그러나 최근 나온 VANET cloud computing(VCC) 개념은 높아진 각 자동차의 능력을 효율적으로 이용하여, 유용하게 사용하는 것에 초점을 맞추어 이러한 한계점을 해결하였다. 그러나 지금까지 진행된 연구에서는 VCC의 초기 클라우드 생성 부분과 사용자 추가 부분의 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문은 이러한 부분을 보완한, VCC 아키텍처를 제안한다.

최근 차량 무선통신 기술이 발달됨에 따라 차량과 클라우드 기술을 접목한 차량 클라우드(Vehicular Cloud)의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존 기법들은 이동성이 있는 V2V(Vehicle-to-Vehicle)와 V2I(Vehicle-to-infrastructure)의 차량 네트워크를 기반으로 데이터 수집을 하거나 중앙 서버와의 실시간 통신을 통한 클라우드 서비스에 집중하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 주차된 차량을 클라우드 형태로 그룹화 하여 데이터센터로 활용하기 위한 연구에 초점을 맞춘다. 먼저 주차 공간의 차량을 데이터센터의 자원으로 활용하는 차량 데이터센터 모델을 제시한다. 또한 차량 데이터센터 모델에서 각 차량의 이탈율을 고려한 예상 실행시간을 계산하고 이를 활용하는 자원 선택 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 예상 실행시간 관점에서 제안된 자원 선택 기법이 기존 기법에 비해 더 향상됨을 보인다.

The new mobile edge network architecture has been required for an increasing amount of traffic, quality requirements, advanced driver assistance system for autonomous driving and new cloud computing demands on highway. This article proposes a hierarchical cloud computing architecture to enhance performance by using adaptive data load distribution for buses that play the role of edge computing server. A vehicular dynamic cloud is based on wireless architecture including Wireless Local Area Network and Long Term Evolution Advanced communication is used for data transmission between moving buses and cars. The main advantages of the proposed architecture include both a reduction of data loading for top layer cloud server and effective data distribution on traffic jam highway where moving vehicles require video on demand (VOD) services from server. Through the description of real environment based on NS-2 network simulation, we conducted experiments to validate the proposed new architecture. Moreover, we show the feasibility and effectiveness for the connected car media service on highway.

Over the last couple of years, traditional VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc NETwork) evolved into VANET-based clouds. From the VANET standpoint, applications became richer by virtue of the boom in automotive telematics and infotainment technologies. Nevertheless, the research community and industries are concerned about the under-utilization of rich computation, communication, and storage resources in middle and high-end vehicles. This phenomenon became the driving force for the birth of VANET-based clouds. In this paper, we envision a novel application layer of VANET-based clouds based on the cooperation of the moving cars on the road, called CaaS (Cooperation as a Service). CaaS is divided into TIaaS (Traffic Information as a Service), WaaS (Warning as a Service), and IfaaS (Infotainment as a Service). Note, however, that this work focuses only on TIaaS and WaaS. TIaaS provides vehicular nodes, more precisely subscribers, with the fine-grained traffic information constructed by CDM (Cloud Decision Module) as a result of the cooperation of the vehicles on the roads in the form of mobility vectors. On the other hand, WaaS provides subscribers with potential warning messages in case of hazard situations on the road. Communication between the cloud infrastructure and the vehicles is done through GTs (Gateway Terminals), whereas GTs are physically realized through RSUs (Road-Side Units) and vehicles with 4G Internet access. These GTs forward the coarse-grained cooperation from vehicles to cloud and fine-grained traffic information and warnings from cloud to vehicles (subscribers) in a secure, privacy-aware fashion. In our proposed scheme, privacy is conditionally preserved wherein the location and the identity of the cooperators are preserved by leveraging the modified location-based encryption and, in case of any dispute, the node is subject to revocation. To the best of our knowledge, our proposed scheme is the first effort to offshore the extended traffic view construction function and warning messages dissemination function to the cloud.
