Driving Innovation at the Intersection of Renewable Energy and the Internet of Vehicles

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is revolutionizing transportation by enabling smarter, more connected mobility solutions in urban environments. However, the rapid expansion of connected vehicles and infrastructure brings significant energy demands that challenge sustainability goals. Addressing these concerns through green IoV strategies is essential to reduce the environmental impact of modern transportation systems. Achieving energy efficiency in IoV not only helps mitigate fuel and electricity consumption but also ensures long-term viability of smart city technologies. As cities continue to adopt intelligent transport networks, sustainable energy practices in vehicular systems become critical to balancing innovation with environmental responsibility. Driving Innovation at the Intersection of Renewable Energy and the Internet of Vehicles explores the innovative fusion of renewable energy sources with the IoV, driving the transformation toward eco-friendly and energy-efficient transportation systems. It delves into the integration of green technologies like solar, wind, and energy-efficient communications to reduce the environmental impact of vehicular networks. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sustainability, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, engineers, policymakers, and more.
