Abstract
Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET), a network that facilitates inter-vehicle communication regarding road safety or entertainment. The popularity of VANET is because of its increasing demand and its blend with the latest technologies like cloud, IoT, AI, and ML. The expansion in vehicles on the road and their communication leads to the need to use fog rather than cloud to provide low latency to a real-time system VANET. The fog computing together with VANET is termed as vehicular fog network although providing various advantages, but on the other side compromises the network’s security. To improve the security and privacy of the VANET system, blockchain an immutable, peer-to-peer, decentralized, and distributed ledger-based technology seems suitable for making VFN a safer and more reliable system. The combination of fog computing and blockchain technology with VANET is termed as blockchain-enabled intelligent vehicular fog network (BIVFN). This paper discusses the VFN also the architecture, and phases of BIVFN are explored in detail. BIVFN can attain the security and privacy requirements well because of blockchain and fog computing.
