Abstract

The technology of VANET has evolved significantly, and the research is growing rapidly in present times, which helps in developing Intelligent Transport Systems and the Internet of Vehicles. The VANET helps in the effectiveness of traffic and provides better road communications, thus enhancing security, where data is being shared between moving vehicles with the help of roadside units (RSUs) and uses communication channels like WLAN and DSRC or may use cellular technologies like LTE and 5G. VANETs have several commercialization obstacles, though they can provide safety and management of traffic, as VANET cannot assure internet connectivity, and thus issues occur when using VANET-based applications used by drivers and passengers. Those applications may not guarantee a significant level of accuracy at times. Meanwhile, VANETs integrated with Blockchain has emerged as cutting-edge vehicular technology to overcome the limitations of traditional VANETs by establishing high mobility, secured connectivity among vehicles and roadside units, and providing high interactivity with personal devices. This survey provides an outline of several papers about Blockchain-based applications in VANETs further generalizes some limitations present in their work, and highlights future development in blockchain-based VANETs.
