Abstract As Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology continues to advance, edge computing has become an important tool for assisting vehicles in handling complex tasks. However, the process of offloading tasks to edge servers may expose vehicles to malicious external attacks, resulting in information loss or even tampering, thereby creating serious security vulnerabilities. Blockchain technology can maintain a shared ledger among servers. In the Raft consensus mechanism, as long as more than half of the nodes remain operational, the system will not collapse, effectively maintaining the system’s robustness and security. To protect vehicle information, we propose a… More >

Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has become an important direction in the field of intelligent transportation, in which vehicle positioning is a crucial part. SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology plays a crucial role in vehicle localization and navigation. Traditional Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems are designed for use in static environments, and they can result in poor performance in terms of accuracy and robustness when used in dynamic environments where objects are in constant movement. To address this issue, a new real-time visual SLAM system called MG-SLAM has been developed. Based on ORB-SLAM2,… More >

Abstract Open networks and heterogeneous services in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) can lead to security and privacy challenges. One key requirement for such systems is the preservation of user privacy, ensuring a seamless experience in driving, navigation, and communication. These privacy needs are influenced by various factors, such as data collected at different intervals, trip durations, and user interactions. To address this, the paper proposes a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model designed to process large amounts of aggregated data and recommend privacy-preserving measures. The model analyzes data based on user demands and interactions with service More >

Abstract The fast growth in Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV) applications is rendering energy efficiency management of vehicular networks a highly important challenge. Most of the existing models are failing to handle the demand for energy conservation in large-scale heterogeneous environments. Based on Large Energy-Aware Fog (LEAF) computing, this paper proposes a new model to overcome energy-inefficient vehicular networks by simulating large-scale network scenarios. The main inspiration for this work is the ever-growing demand for energy efficiency in IoV-most particularly with the volume of generated data and connected devices. The proposed LEAF model enables researchers to perform simulations of… More >

Abstract With the rapid advancement of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology, the demands for real-time navigation, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications, and multimedia entertainment systems have made in-vehicle applications increasingly computing-intensive and delay-sensitive. These applications require significant computing resources, which can overwhelm the limited computing capabilities of vehicle terminals despite advancements in computing hardware due to the complexity of tasks, energy consumption, and cost constraints. To address this issue in IoV-based edge computing, particularly in scenarios where available computing resources in vehicles are scarce, a multi-master and multi-slave double-layer game model More >

Abstract The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly propelled the advancement of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). With AI support, represented by machine learning technology, vehicles gain the capability to make intelligent decisions. As a distributed learning paradigm, federated learning (FL) has emerged as a preferred solution in IoV. Compared to traditional centralized machine learning, FL reduces communication overhead and improves privacy protection. Despite these benefits, FL still faces some security and privacy concerns, such as poisoning attacks and inference attacks, prompting exploration into blockchain integration to enhance its security posture.

Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is extensively deployed in outdoor and open environments to effectively address traffic efficiency and safety issues by connecting vehicles to the network. However, due to the open and variable nature of its network topology, vehicles frequently engage in cross-domain interactions. During such processes, directly uploading sensitive information to roadside units for interaction may expose it to malicious tampering or interception by attackers, thus compromising the security of the cross-domain authentication process. Additionally, IoV imposes high real-time requirements, and existing cross-domain authentication schemes for IoV often encounter efficiency issues. To mitigate More >
