Abstract: The recent advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) play a significant important role in day-to-day activities of human beings to connect things-to-things; it reduces the efforts of an individual as well as increases the safety and smartness of people through smart phones. With the increase in population, there is a tremendous increase in the number of vehicles, which leads to more possibilities of road accidents. In a Smart Vehicle Environment, various sensors are used to collect vehicle-related information from different locations and alert the driver about road traffic conditions to avoid unexpected accidents. This paper proposes an Enhanced Privacy Secure-Routing Protocols for Low Power and Lossy Networks (EnPS-RPL) routing protocol to detect various attacks and prevent a vehicle from unexpected accidents. The proposed work is simulated in Cooja Platform Simulator which is in Contiki Operating System. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves networks' lifetime, throughput and decreases the packet loss ratio and end-to-end delay compared to the existing RPL-based protocols.

Keywords: EnPS-RPL; smart vehicle environment; road traffic; packet loss; RPL-based protocols.
