Abstract

Vehicular Communication Networks are the recent intensification of data-based, interconnected communication between computers, network entities, and sensory systems that have created a new path to analyse, predict, and prevent potential road misbehaviour by utilising real-time information transfer and environmental simulation. The first part of this book chapter examines the hidden and pervasive potential of IoT in-vehicle networking in terms of real-time traffic forecasting, traffic welfare, and traffic efficiency. The first part also provides an overview of the many cutting-edge technologies, their functionality, structure, laws now being used in vehicular networking for vehicle CPS, and their difficulties. The widespread deployment of IoT-enabled vehicular communication infrastructure also brings various security concerns and challenges that could any breach or attack could significantly harm human life, physical assets, and the environment. Hence, in the second part of the paper, we will examine the various security issues and threats in vehicular communications and the various countermeasures proposed to address them. The overall objective of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in this area and to identify challenges and solutions for securing current and future IoT-enabled vehicular communications.
