A RESTful information service method in Hybrid Sensor and Vehicular Networks

Hybrid Sensor and Vehicular Networks (HSVNs) include the features of WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) and VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks), is becoming the tendency in vehicular network. To obtain vehicular sensor service information reliably in real time is always a bottleneck in the application of vehicular network. The REST architecture uniforms the pattern of resource and interactive behaviour, building stateless service between server and client, is advantageous in heterogeneous application. This paper analyses the feature of HSVNs´ information service and uses REST pattern to design the service resource and model in HSVNs´, it provides a lightweight method to build an information interacting system in heterogeneous network environment.
