The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an innovative concept aimed at addressing the critical problem of traffic congestion. IoV applications are part of a connected network that collects relevant data from various smart sensors installed in connected vehicles. This information is freely and easily exchanged between vehicles, which leads to improved traffic management and a reduction in traffic accidents. As the IoV technology continues to grow, the amount of data collected will increase, presenting new challenges for data privacy and security. The use of blockchain technology has been proposed as a solution, as its decentralized and distributed architecture has been proven reliable with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. However, studies have shown that blockchain alone may not be sufficient to address privacy and security concerns, and there are currently no tools available to evaluate its performance in an IoV simulation environment. This research aims to provide a comprehensive review of the challenges associated with the implementation of blockchain technology in the IoV context.
