Socialization between Quarantine Vehicle and Road Side Unit for Handling COVID-19: A Concept

The large-scale outbreak of pandemic COVID 19 has escalated the number of calls made to the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). EMS consists of the list of isolation centres and quarantine vehicles that are supposed to shift patients to isolation centres. The prime motive of the EMS is to provide quick and reliable assistance to the victims so that their exposure to other public is as low as possible. In this paper, we propose a novel concept of Socially Connected Quarantine Vehicle (SCQV) a subset of Social Internet of Vehicles (SIoV). The SCQV is a social network established among the quarantine vehicles and roadside units. It can be used for shifting the patients to isolation centres or hospitals and circulating messages regarding emergency help and formation of containment zone among people. The concept is new in its context where the socially and mutually connected entities will be capable of interacting with each other and make the handling of patients efficient.
