The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and the Internet of Flying Vehicles (IoFV) are integral components of intelligent transportation systems with the potential to revolutionize the way we move people and goods. Although both the IoV and IoFV share a common goal of improving transportation efficiency, safety, and sustainability, they possess distinct characteristics and face unique challenges. To date, the existing literature has predominantly focused on specific aspects of either the IoV or IoFV, but a comprehensive review comparing and contrasting the two domains is still lacking. This review paper aims to address this gap by providing an in-depth analysis of the key differences between the IoV and IoFV systems. The review will examine the technological components, network infrastructure, communication protocols, data management, objectives, applications, challenges, and future trends associated with both domains. Additionally, this paper will explore the potential impact of technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain. Ultimately, the paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the implications and potential of these technologies, both in the context of transportation systems and beyond.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have advanced rapidly in the last two decades with the advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. It is crucial, however, to design better power supply technologies. In the last decade, lithium polymer and lithium-ion batteries have mainly been used to power multirotor UAVs. Even though batteries have been improved and are constantly being improved, they provide fairly low energy density, which limits multirotors’ UAV flight endurance. This problem is addressed and is being partially solved by using docking stations which provide an aircraft to land safely, charge (or change) the batteries and to take-off as well as being safely stored. This paper focuses on the work carried out in the last decade. Different docking stations are presented with a focus on their movement abilities. Rapid advances in computer vision systems gave birth to precise landing systems. These algorithms are the main reason that docking stations became a viable solution. The authors concluded that the docking station solution to short ranges is a viable option, and numerous extensive studies have been carried out that offer different solutions, but only some types, mainly fixed stations with storage systems, have been implemented and are being used today. This can be seen from the commercially available list of docking stations at the end of this paper. Nevertheless, it is important to be aware of the technologies being developed and implemented, which can offer solutions to a vast number of different problems.

“…For more information, see https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ A common approach for relative localization of vehicles is to adopt so-called fiducial markers. This approach involves the use of cameras and vision algorithms to estimate the position with respect to such fiducial markers which are usually binary square tags, such as the ArUco markers, placed on top of the vehicle to be followed [13], [14]. A wide experimental comparison reported in [15] proved that position estimation through fiducial markers has usually a mean error below 10 cm up to 2 m of distance from the marker itself at various angles.…”

Considering a multi-robot system composed of a ground vehicle and a multi-copter connected each other with a tether, it is crucial for them to know their relative positions in order to carry out any operating task. Localization is usually accomplished by using GPS in outdoor environments. However, such a system does not work in indoor and more generally in so-called GPS denied environments. We investigated a solution which exploits the catenary configuration assumed by tether and does not require any computationally demanding resource or complex cable tension sensors. Different approaches have been experimentally tested, compared and validated with classical localization systems in both indoor and outdoor environments.
