ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Mobile cloud computing involves the study of several mobile agents such as vehicles and robots. All these mobile agents collaborate and interact to feel the environment, process data, propagate outputs, and mostly share resources. The vision of vehicular mobile cloud computing (VMCC) is a nontrivial argumentation with different dimensions along with conventional mobile cloud computing. In VMCC, the underutilized resources of vehicles such as storage, Internet connectivity, and computing power are shared among drivers as well as rented on the Internet for other customers/users. VMCC is a new hybrid technology, which has a marvelous impact on road safety and traffic management as it uses instant vehicular resources such as storage, computing power, and the Internet for decision making. In this chapter, VMCC is discussed with its simulation performed using the network simulator Qualnet 7.1. According to the analyzed metrics, it is shown that vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is preferable than vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication as data rate is higher in V2V communication.
