A Novel Method for VANET Improvement using Cloud Computing

In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for VANET using cloud computing. We accomplish processing, routing and traffic control in a centralized and parallel way by adding one or more server to the network. Each car or node is considered a Client, in such a manner that routing, traffic control, getting information from client and data processing and storing are performed by one or more server in different bases. The procedure is about each client that receives its situation by GPS system and sends it online to the concerned server via GPRS networks. In order to perform routing and displaying data, each client sends a request to server. All processes and operations will be executable by the software which is inside the server. Finally, we propose an algorithm to work in server and make decision on route selection on the basis of three priorities of traffic, safety and shortest route. This algorithm is represented for the first time. The results indicate that by using this method VANET network is improved. By using this algorithm, we can communicate generally, not regionally, and improvement of processing and accurate statistics is achieved. In fact, the processing in the server is Fuzzy. It means that these priorities are Fuzzy.
