Abstract:
Data explosion in Smart cities is facing an exponential increase. Not only the field of
Computer Science and Information Technology, but all other fields such as Science,
medicine, arts, engineering etc. perform data-acquisition for future business analysis and
organization’s growth. Although there are many fields but the progress of smart cities
seems to be the leading cause of data explosion. Nowadays, sensors and Internet of Things
generate an amount of data which is far beyond our imaginations. With the emerging data
there occurs a need to assess data dissemination techniques, such that the delivery of bigdata
shall be within optimal time and least cost. Data transfer techniques include PLC, Wi-
Fi, DSRC, Optical-fiber etc. which have their own merits but demerits are more. Some are
expensive to purchase, while the others cost more in terms of delay and energy. Hence, a
technique is required for big-data transfer which is affordable by all means. In our proposed
framework, we have put forward a centralized system which provides data transfer using
daily Road traffic. Vehicles act as data-carriers picking up data from the source, where data
hops over intermediate data-spots by vehicles and finally is delivered to the destination.
Our aim in this research is to prove that the data transfer by using Road traffic is efficient
as compared to Internet in terms of delay and as well as energy. We propose a technique
in which data transfer is availed by using already available resource i.e. vehicles, thus
saving time, resources and money.
