Strengthening the vehicles in the VANETS with a cloud access aims to interconnect On-Board Unit (OBU) and RSU resources into the cloud for computing tasks. With cloud computing, cloud-based vehicular networks can support many unprecedented applications. However, deploying applications of cloud-based applications with low latency is not a trivial task. It creates a burden to the vehicular network’s designers because rapid development and communication technologies, gradual changes in cloud-based vehicular networks evolve into a revolution in the process. In this study, we try to reveal the barriers hindering the scale up of applications based cloud-vehicular networks and to offer our initial cloud-based vehicular networks as a potential solution to lowering the barriers.
