VEMD: A V2V-based emergency message dissemination scheme for IoV

Recently, the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) network, a fusion of Internet of Things (IoT) and VANET, has gained prominence. It facilitates rapid communication of critical information to emergency services in the event of incident or emergencies. However, IoV networks are facing a high rate of network congestion. The primary aim of this work is to alleviate congestion by minimizing the redundancy of messages. This is accomplished through the utilization of unicast connections, enabling point-to-point communication between vehicles and nearby fog servers. Through simulations, this work demonstrates the significance of the proposed Vehicle Emergency Message Dissemination (VEMD) algorithm in enhancing safety applications. The simulation results show that the proposed VEMD algorithm outperforms an efficient work.
