A Review of Interoperability issues in Internet of Vehicles (IoV)

Abstract

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is the new era of Internet of Things that interfaces the vehicles to the things through various communication modules to send and receive the data. In-spite of several benefits, IoV faces many technical challenges. Interoperability is the ability of systems to communicate with each other. Sensors/devices embedded in vehicles made up of different manufacturers speak different language. In a situation, where two vehicles communicate with each other to alert about road conditions to ensure safe driving and avoid hazards. It becomes mandatory to ensure both vehicles would exchange and interpret the information correctly, otherwise this could even put the lives at risk. One key aspect that’s particularly tended to in this paper is issues of interoperability in IoV. Also, this paper addresses the current state of Interoperability and possible attempts to interoperability solutions in the field of IoV.
