Connected Vehicle : Solution and State of the art and Future Challenge

Abstract

Self-driving and connected vehicles, communicating with one another and with the road infrastructure are a subject of extensive research nowadays and are expected to revolutionize the automotive industry in the near future. Providing various wireless connectivity for vehicles enables the communication between vehicles and their internal and external environments. Moreover, connected vehicles are also the building blocks of emerging Internet of Vehicles. Extensive research activities and numerous industrial initiatives have paved the way for the coming era of connected vehicles. In this paper, we focus on wireless technologies and potential challenges to provide vehicle-to-x connectivity. In particular, we discuss the challenges and review the state-of-the-art wireless solutions for vehicle to-sensor, vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-Internet, and vehicle-to road infrastructure connectivity. We also identify future research issues for building connected vehicles.
