Vehicle mobile Internet of Things uses sensor technology, mobile Internet technology, and intelligent computing technology to effectively monitor and provide comprehensive services for vehicle operation status. It is an important part of building a smart city, making urban transportation more efficient, environmentally friendly, intelligent, and safety. In the vehicle mobile Internet of Things, when in-vehicle sensors are in communication with each other, they are often affected by factors, such as network mobility, transmission range, and signal interference. Therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of communication between nodes and improve the quality of network communication, this paper proposes a vehicle mobile Internet of Things coverage enhancement algorithm (PANM). First, we derive the probabilistic analysis model of communication duration by analyzing the functional relationship of vehicle initial velocity, acceleration, spacing distance, and communication duration. Then, under the premise of ensuring the communication duration, in order to improve the coverage of the vehicle mobile Internet of Things, the network overlap ratio is introduced in the probability analysis model. Finally, we improve the network coverage performance of omnidirectional radiation and fan-shaped radiation communication models of vehicle mobile Internet of Things by limiting the overlap ratio threshold. The experimental simulation results indicate that the PANM algorithm can reduce the packet loss rate of the vehicle network and have a shorter communication delay.
