Transportation in IoT-SDN Using Vertical Handoff Scheme

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network that connects objects with various processing and sensing capabilities and communicates through the Internet. IoT facilitates connectivity between numerous technological gadgets and sensors to improve our quality of life. It has revolutionized the world around us. IoT has a great impact on transportation as IoT integration allows in growing a centrally managed network that may optimize the space protected via way of means of the vehicle, locate higher and secure routes in case of an important situation, effectively manipulate and keep the goods, fabric, and buy orders and universal offers a fine effect at the sales generated via way of means of the transportation sector. This paper briefly discusses the basics of IoT, the various technologies that comprise IoT, its integration with transportation, and its applications. A vertical handoff scheme is proposed for transportation and it is compared with various states of art techniques. It is observed that it outperforms over the other techniques in terms of throughput and number of end-users served.
