摘要：The Opportunistic Vehicular Communications did open new research fields, for the smart cities connectivity development and the vehicular cloud computing in general, that benefits the smart systems, applications and data collectors existing in the City. In this paper, we propose an Agile platform combining the usage of Smart Applications and Vehicular Communications in the Internet of Things (IoT); the Agile platform represents a case study of Internet of Things-related technologies that deploys multiple applications and interfaces to interact with different "Things" by deploying different communication technologies. In this work, we propose the utilization and evaluation of VANETs Networks that represent one of the existent communication tools in a smart city, this network will be deployed by the Agile platform to exchange specific types of informative data, thought there are other communication tools available for the Agile Platform, but, due to its flexibility and availability in a smart city, we are more interested into the VANETs Networks and how the Agile Platform may benefit from this network. In this paper, we describe the architecture and the components of the Agile Platform, how it interacts with other systems, users and servers part of the city, as well as the evaluation of VANET Networks deployment by the Agile Platform for an end-to-end communication.
