Abstract
In recent years, the growing number of vehicles on the road have exacerbated issues related to safety and traffic congestion. However, the advent of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) holds the potential to transform mobility, enhance traffic management and safety, and create smarter, more interconnected road networks. This paper addresses key road safety concerns, focusing on driver condition detection, vehicle monitoring, and traffic and road management. Specifically, various models proposed in the literature for monitoring the driver’s health and detecting anomalies, drowsiness, and impairment due to alcohol consumption are illustrated. The paper describes vehicle condition monitoring architectures, including diagnostic solutions for identifying anomalies, malfunctions, and instability while driving on slippery or wet roads. It also covers systems for classifying driving style, as well as tire and emissions monitoring. Moreover, the paper provides a detailed overview of the proposed traffic monitoring and management solutions, along with systems for monitoring road and environmental conditions, including the sensors used and the Machine Learning (ML) algorithms implemented. Finally, this review also presents an overview of innovative commercial solutions, illustrating advanced devices for driver monitoring, vehicle condition assessment, and traffic and road management.
