A blockchain based incentive provisioning scheme for traffic event validation and information storage in VANETs

作者：

Highlights：

• A blockchain based data storage system is presented to overcome the volume and delay issues.

• The proposed system exploits benefits of an Interplanetary File System (IPFS).

• Due to the resource constraints of vehicles, the blockchain is implemented on the RSUs.

• An incentive mechanism is proposed to provide monetary incentives to active vehicles.

• Oyente tool is used to analyze the security of the proposed smart contract.
