The Future of Automotive Mobility: Integrating Cloud-Based Connected Services for Sustainable and Autonomous Transportation

Abstract

Automobile mobility is evolving rapidly and dynamically with the integration of numerous new devices and technologies. A connected vehicle is one kind of intelligent computer that requires long-term software updates and maintenance. To meet the demand of automobile manufacturers and enhance the user experience, cloud-based connected services can integrate vehicular data clouds, Internet of Vehicles applications, and mobile cloud computing for shared benefit.

The concept of vehicular data clouds are described, and their benefits, components, functionalities, and formal architectures are delineated. Future work includes the development of advanced algorithms to optimize the system design of vehicular data clouds, the modeling of user mobility to efficiently support mobile cloud computing in the automotive environment, and the development of an innovative business model. A connected vehicle is a complex intelligent computer that includes many interconnected devices such as sensors, actuators, wireless communication modules, vehicle control units, processors, and human–machine interfaces. These devices allow vehicles to provide semi- or fully autonomous services. For the long-term efficiency of vehicle operation, such intelligent devices are developed based on long-term software updates and maintenance. This connected vehicle technology abstract is a connection platform that can be integrated with many applications to enhance the driving experience and improve the safety of vehicle operation. At the same time, it can help the automobile industry to understand the desire of drivers so that they can promote business retention and the continuous improvement of intelligent vehicle technology.
