The journey of Blockchain inclusion in Vehicular Networks: A Taxonomy
El-hacen Diallo, Omar Dib, Khaldoun Al Agha · 2021
Vehicular Networks (VNs) improve the transportation systems with useful applications that enhance driver safety, minimize operating costs, and enable real-time infotainment services. These applications are based on a general scheme, the vehicular network architecture, which defines the role of each entity in the VN. Several architectures had been proposed to meet the security and performance requirements of the VN. This work presents a taxonomy of different architectures while focusing on blockchain technology inclusion in VNs. We describe each architecture and analyze its limitations and challenges. Furthermore, we emphasize the motivation behind blockchain technology adoption in VNs.
