Abstract :
The paper presents a new service paradigm for Vehicle Communication Platforms (VCPs), based on the Sensor Cloud concept. According to this paradigm, VCPs make available their components, including vehicle sensor and devices, to third-party vehicle monitoring applications, as virtual resources. We prototyped a Sensor Cloud service on the Click & Find™ VCP, currently supporting real-time Intelligent Truck Monitoring (ITM) services on about one thousand tank trucks for fuel distribution in Europe. The paper presents the Sensor Cloud service architecture and implementation, discussing the main benefits delivered to the ITM domain.
