Providing Software as a Service to VANET under Cloud Environment

Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Computer Engineering, University of Pune (MIT Academy of Engineering , Alandi), course: Computer Engineering, language: English, abstract: Vehicular Ad-hoc network (VANET) is an emerging technology for roadside communication used by intelligent transportation system (ITS) as well as subclass of MANET where nodes are arranged in an ad-hoc manner and strictly follow traffic rules. VANET is aimed at improving the safety and
efficiency of transportation and deliver timely information to drivers in a cost-effective manner using V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) and V2I (Vehicle to infrastructure) communication. V2I communication is sometimes too costly, sometimes short lived links in hat case; Vehicle-to-Vehicle communications are effective for enabling VC (Vehicular Cloud) services. In this project, we are provide the vehicular cloud services such as NaaS (Network as a Service) and SaaS (Storage as a Service) by considering the Dynamic vehicular cloud and Static Vehicular cloud, respectively based on the framework of VANET, and propose a novel approach for utilization of resources in a cloud environment.
