Auto-IoT 2015 - 2015 IEEE International Workshop on Automotive IoT (IEEE Auto-IoT 2015)

The future network infrastructure for vehicular environments will increase the pervasiveness of the Internet and the overall connectivity by integrating every “object” (e.g., passengers’ smart phones, vehicles’ sensors, infrastructures and external management platform) forming an intelligent vehicular transportation system. IoT supported by vehicular networks will be a key enabler for new geo-spatial information mapping communities. Using the advanced communication and sensor capabilities hosted by vehicles, these IoT communities have the potential to reach a wide range of objectives at more cost effective ways. Applications for such a promising combination of information production range from providing road safety and driver assistance, to mapping road status (e.g., road congestion status, road conditions and maintenance status), to estimating the 'greenens’ of various road segments.
