What is it about?

IoT (Internet of Things) applications are going mobile. The Transportation & Logistics (T&L) sector is embracing IoT and its technologies. including Mobile IoT Devices. These devices are expected to be on the road all the time, from zone to zone and network to network. This work presents a network selection algorithm that would allow mobile IoT devices to scan, identify, and connect to the best available network to maintain connectivity, which is essential for the success of the IoT application being implemented, such as parcel tracking, Vehicle Fleet Management, Bus Service Management platforms, and similar projects.

Why is it important?

As the Transportation & Logistics (T&L) sector begins to rely more and more on IoT and its technologies. It is imperative that data broadcasting and integrity is maintained at all times. The network selection algorithm presented in this work would ensure those mobile IoT devices, while on the road, would always remain connected to the best available network, ensuring the success of applications such as Vehicle Fleet Management, Delivery Truck Services, Bus Management platforms, and so on

Perspectives

Research Series: The Internet of Everything (IoE) [2017 - current] This work is part of the IoE research initiative I am currently embarking on, which aims to Implement the Internet of Things (IoT) in Every aspect of our lives. Since I ventured into IoT in 2016, I covered; Precision Agriculture, Water Management, Vehicle Fleet management, IoT-Robotics, Energy, and recently, Covid-19 related technologies.
