style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Internet-of-things
(IoT) has appeared as a novel and ground-breaking technology
aiming to provide Internet connectivity to every device that
have computation, communication and storage capability.
Numerous applications such as smart health, smart cities,
smart industries, and smart homes are a result of this
phenomenon of connecting smart devices with the Internet. In
order to provide secure and safe transportation, IoT has
evolved into a novel concept, also known as the Internet of
Vehicles (IoV) where smart vehicles equipped with computing,
communicating and storing capabilities communicate with each
other and with surrounding infrastructure via
vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. The latter
enabled the exchange of critical information among smart
vehicles including sudden lane changes, steep-curves, black
ice warnings, and traffic accidents avoidance, therefore
assisting the drivers in extreme and difficult situations.
IoV has an enormous potential to provide secure and safer
transportation as it enables the vehicles to take correct
decision in a timely manner. In addition, IoV will also have
intelligence and learning capabilities to anticipate the
vehicular users’ intentions. Cloud-based IoV mechanisms
provide several essential services from routing to content
search, spectrum sharing, dissemination, attack protection,
etc. However, IoV-based objects produce a vast volume of
information frequently called as Big Data, which cannot be
easily processed by traditional algorithms and schemes.
Future smart environments will enable efficient handling and
processing of Big Data that is generated by the associated
objects for an effective communication and co-operation
among them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In
addition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a crucial
role in such environments, enabling for smarter services,
applications, business processes and social interaction
among the IoV objects. In this respect, a great potential
exists for advanced technological solutions combined with AI
and IoV-enabled capabilities. AI mechanisms applied in IoV
environments can be exploited in smart cities to analyze
drivers’ actions via data gathered and/or exchanged by
enabled V2X vehicles’ Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and
microcontrollers. AI will play a significant role in future
IoV applications and infrastructures, by providing insights
from collected data. This capability will enable the
identification of patterns and will allow operational
predictions with higher accuracy in small time periods. AI
applications for smart vehicles will also enable businesses
to develop new products, reduce possible risks and increase
efficiency during the production time, by predicting
failures that are usually non-detectable by humans.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The
future of the implementation of AI-powered IoV
infrastructures depends on the effective solutions to a
number of technical challenges that such paradigms
introduce. These challenges include intelligent sensor
capabilities improvement and integration, smart Big Data
analytics, automated remote data management, as well as open
and secure composition of processes, which may be
implemented into emerging AI-enabled IoV scenarios. Some
initiatives try to incorporate Artificial Intelligence
schemes in IoV environments, but new frameworks have to be
defined. In fact, the approach of IoV is to find the
potential benefits of AI, in order to build extensive
ecosystems, for increasing the number of automated services
and their value. This Book aims to gather recent research
works in emerging Artificial Intelligence methods for
processing and storing the data generated from cloud-based
Internet of Vehicles infrastructures. In this context, the
major subjects of the proposed book will cover the analysis
and the development of AI-powered mechanisms in future IoV
applications and architectures.</span></p>
