Cloud-based Video capture handoff in the Intelligent Transportation System

Handoff is the process of transferring data session from one cell to another in a cellular system or from one channel to another in the same cell. Intelligent transportation System (ITS) is the integration of information system applications and communications technologies to improve transportation safety and mobility and enhance system productivity. In this paper, cloud-based video capture handoff scheme is proposed such that vehicular cloud can be utilized to offer video capture as a service. The proposed scheme transfer a video capture session from one vehicle to another. It handles the continuity of video capture with minimum service disruption. The proposed service is implemented using OPNET.
