Abstract

The rapid and unprecedented growth of urban populations has led to increased traffic congestion and road accidents, necessitating the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to improve road safety, traffic management, and driving efficiency. Among emerging technologies, Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) integrated with cloud computing have gained significant attention for enabling seamless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-cloud (V2C) communication. In such systems, vehicles are equipped with advanced sensors that collect real-time data about the environment, roadway, and surrounding vehicles. This data is processed, stored, and shared through cloud infrastructure to support a range of applications, including real-time traffic updates, collision avoidance alerts, navigation assistance, infotainment(“information” and “entertainment.”), and emergency response. The VAN-Cloud architecture offers a scalable and efficient framework for managing vehicular data and cloud resources, ensuring secure communication, low latency, and reliable data exchange. Furthermore, modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with intelligent onboard units that enhance these capabilities, contributing to the development of safer, smarter, and more efficient transportation systems.
