Advancing Road Safety through Cloud Based RSU Solutions for Smart Internet of Vehicles

Abstract

This research proposes a system to improve road safety by detecting and alerting drivers about hazardous road conditions in real-time. Vehicles equipped with sensors, GPS, and communication devices can autonomously detect hazardous road conditions and transmit alerts to a central cloud system through IoT MQTT protocol. Upon receiving alerts, vehicles can dynamically adjust their routes to avoid hazardous areas, reducing the risk of accidents. By utilizing IoT technology, the system ensures the reliability and authenticity of shared information, enhancing trust and overall road safety awareness. The proposed system architecture leverages cloud-based Roadside Units (RSUs) to facilitate communication among smart vehicles, providing real-time road condition information and ensuring secure and efficient data exchange. The system aims to address the challenges of existing IoV frameworks, such as data protection, key management, storage, concurrency performance, and response speed, by implementing robust security measures and efficient data management strategies.
