IoV 2014 - The 2014 International Workshop on Internet of Vehicles (IoV2014)

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is expected to become the core building blocks of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) where encompass a broad range of wireless communications and electronics technologies. In order to offer new solutions to the driving safety, IoVs (including automobiles and the high-speed rail trains) involve mobile communication system of the vehicles over a public Internet to increase situational awareness and avoid collision risks through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) data transmission. However, inherited from its own unique features (such as mobility pattern and ad hoc nature), on-going researches aim at improvement of spectrum efficiency, coverage, packet loss, mobility management, security and privacy, which are actively studied and developed in both wireless academia and industry. While benefiting from the effective decision-making services of intelligent transportation system, two performance requirements (real-time and scalability) are essential to achieving an active safety transportation environment because accidents happen in just a few seconds and the number of connected vehicles are expected to be over 250 million as the basis of a nationwide deployment. IoV provides entrepreneurs with a stream of opportunities to develop new products and services. Therefore, this workshop serves to unite common research interests in IoV technologies to discuss related issues and share novel solutions.
