摘要：Smart cities play a vital role to develop a sustainable infrastructure with efficient management of the Internet of things devices. The infrastructure is used to support various applications for smart hospitals, smart factories, and intelligent transportation systems. With the extensive deployment of Internet of things devices, unprecedented growth in data has lead to capacity and transfer issues. In this article, we proposed an efficient data transfer mechanism based on self-sustainable networks over the vehicular environment. Depending on whether the network is connected with vehicles available to support direct connection from the source to destination, we propose end-to-end and hop-by-hop forwarding for vehicular networks that are inherently disconnected. The evaluation results demonstrate that the lifetime of the discovered paths depends on the coverage area, vehicle mobility, and vehicle speed. Therefore, at times redundant disjoint paths are selected for communication. In the proposed work, selected vehicles are used to reach the destination.
