Wireless machine-to-machine communication for intelligent transportation systems: Internet of vehicles and vehicle to grid

摘要

Machine to machine communication in intelligent transportation is a technology that aims to interconnect various components such as sensors, vehicles, road infrastructures and wireless networks. The significance thereof is to solve problems such as road congestion, road accidents and high vehicle fuel consumption. This paper gives an overview of how Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication can be used in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to improve road safety and efficiency, where Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) play a major role. These applications include traffic light control, fleet management and smart grid systems. Some of M2M architectures that have been devised are also discussed.
