A Study to Enhance the Route Optimization Algorithm for the Internet of Vehicle

Abstract

In the Internet of Things (IoT), the advancement of the new modern era of Internet-off driving, known as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), is aimed at the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to improve road safety and traffic. Therefore, IoV is better for traffic management. But perhaps, the main challenges in this type of network are that timely decision to make adequate decisions by a driver under certain conditions of rapid change in topology, high vehicular mobility, and frequent link failures is hard to improve road safety. Therefore, an optimized and congestion-free route is required to collect real-time data from vehicles. Thus, some of the latest bioinspired optimization routing algorithms in the IoV environment are presented in this study. Hence, monitoring speed limits, pollution checks, and emergency responses to traffic accidents should also be considered while performing vehicle routing to avoid traffic problems. In the previous decades, many route-directing protocols for the IoV environment have been proposed that can handle the requirements of reliability and security. But such routing of protocols suffers from high complexity and scalability limitations in big-scale networks, routing overlays, etc. Therefore, their strengths, weaknesses, and critical characteristics are compared using various criteria for such algorithms. Then, a suggestion is made to propose a prescribed combined model of a multimodular bioinspired approach to IoV routing. Finally, the main future directions of research in this sector are highlighted.
