Dynamic Performance Analysis of STEP System in Internet of Vehicles Based on Queuing Theory

The Internet of vehicles (IoV) is an important research area of the intelligent transportation systems using Internet of things theory. The complex event processing technology is a basic issue for processing the data stream in IoV. In recent years, many researchers process the temporal and spatial data flow by complex event processing technology. Spatial Temporal Event Processing (STEP) is a complex event query language focusing on the temporal and spatial data flow in Internet of vehicles. There are four processing models of the event stream processing system based on the complex event query language: finite automata model, matching tree model, directed acyclic graph model, and Petri net model. In addition, the worst-case response time of the event stream processing system is an important indicator of evaluating the performance of the system. Firstly, this paper proposed a core algorithm of the temporal and spatial event stream processing program based on STEP by Petri net model. Secondly, we proposed a novel method to estimate the worst-case response time of the event stream processing system, which is based on stochastic Petri net and queuing theory. Finally, through the simulation experiment based on queuing theory, this paper proves that the data stream processing system based on STEP has good dynamic performance in processing the spatiotemporal data stream in Internet of vehicles.
