Abstract

A Vehicular Cloud generally focuses on several aspects, which include providing a set of computational services at low cost to vehicle drivers; minimizing traffic congestion, accidents, travel time, and environmental pollution; and ensuring the use of low energy and real-time services of software, platforms, and infrastructure with QoS to drivers. The largest challenge in vehicular mobile Clouds consists of creating a mechanism for management and search resources that does not depend on roadside infrastructure, which consequently requires the spontaneous and dynamic creation of a Cloud through the resources shared by vehicles. Therefore, the system must enable collaboration and cooperation between vehicles so that they may establish connections to provide resources. To address this challenge, we propose a peer-to-peer protocol to assist in the discovery and management of resources in a vehicular mobile Cloud without depending on the support of a roadside infrastructure so that vehicles are expected to organize themselves and establish collaborations to manage and share their resources. Simulation results show that the proposed approach introduces a short search time of approximately 0.5 (ms) to seek resources in one hop and approximately 0.9 (ms) to seek more of a hop in resources. Furthermore, the proposed protocol enables a high availability of resources, about 87%. (AU)
