## 1 Introduction  
In recent years, there has been a tendency to increase the scope of the application of wireless information technologies. First of all, it concerns such areas as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ITS is a system integration of modern information and communication technologies and automation means with transportation infrastructure, transport facilities and users. It is focused on solving the following tasks:  
* traffic management in cities and highways [1; 2; 3];
* road safety improvement [4];
* traffic management under emergency circumstances [5; 6; 7];
* improvement of comfort for drivers and transport users [8; 9; 10]. Considering the progress of ITS development, it is impossible not to note the expansion of the process of the implementation of vehicular self-organizing networks such as VANET (Vehicular Ad Hoc Network) in \"smart cities\" [11]. The main elements of VANET are  
* OBU (On Board Unit) telecommunication modules placed on vehicles;
* RSU (Roadside Unit) base stations supporting communication interfaces. All devices must have appropriate computing resources and a system to wirelessly communicate with each other. The architecture of a VANET implemented within a settlement is shown in Figure 1.  
The RSU base station deployment infrastructure aims to ensure uninterrupted radio communication between the RSU and the OBU. This enables any vehicle to access applications and services quickly and with high fidelity. However, as the distance from the settlements increases, deploying a network of RSU infrastructure base stations requires significant financial outlay. This problem can be solved in several ways. In [12], it is proposed to use unmanned aerial vehicles as RSUs. According to the authors, this approach will reduce the financial costs of deploying the infrastructure of stationary RSUs, providing a higher level of safety of road traffic due to the timely delivery of emergency messages to vehicles. Thanks to this, drivers have time to take appropriate actions to avoid accidents. One of the promising directions of ITS development is the application of Internet of vehicle (IoV) technology, which is the integration of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) and satellite IoT technology based on a constellation of geostationary and low-orbit satellites [13]. The deployment of the Starlink low-orbit satellite communication system allows for expanding the scope of the application of the Internet of Vehicles. In this case, it is possible to organize data exchange between vehicles located in remote and sparsely populated areas and ITS control centers using satellite Internet channels. As a result, the satellite Internet of Vehicles appears, which is a new step in the evolution of VANET technology. This integration leads to qualitative changes in ITS, providing a reduction in the number of traffic accidents and crashes, increasing road capacity, expanding driving comfort services and regulating speed limits. The perspective of using a low-orbit constellation of satellites in IoV is especially evident in sparsely populated and hard-to-reach areas of the Far North. The increased interest in these areas is due to the fact that the Arctic Ocean shelf has more than 1.7 trillion cubic feet of hydrocarbon reserves in the subsurface [14]. This leads to the expansion of the geography of the location of enterprises engaged in the extraction and transportation of minerals. In this case, the development of extractive industries becomes a trigger for the creation of transportation routes beyond the Arctic Circle. It is possible to solve the problems of the development of the transportation infrastructure, increase the efficiency of its operation and reduce the number of road accidents and emergency situations in harsh climatic conditions only by using the integration of automotive self-organizing
