8.1. Introduction

The reference architecture of Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) (ETSI 2010) was defined by the joint work of various standardization organizations: IEEE, ISO, ETSI, etc. Structured along three main axes (management, control, security), this architecture must enable the deployment of a large-scale vehicular communication system. As proven by Kaiwartya et al. (2016), in the current state it has various limitations: capacity to process a significant data volume, interoperability between various networks, guaranteed quality of service (QoS), guaranteed security and respect of private life, etc. This is why vehicular networks evolved toward a new paradigm: the Internet of Vehicles (IoV).

Relying on the principles of the Internet of Things (IoT), IoV must enable addressing the limitations of Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks, also known as “VANET”. For this purpose, IoV relies on the development of new types of communication: vehicle to pedestrian (V2P), vehicle to object (V2O), etc. This must make possible the improvement of road safety services, the development of global traffic management services as well as the design of new entertainment services (multimedia, advertising, etc.).

The communication architecture that should enable the ascent ...
