Multi-agents system of vehicle services based on Blockchain

Abstract

The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) is affecting several sectors, in particular the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET). The link between the IoT and VANET is giving rise to the Internet of Vehicles (10V). With the IoV,vehicles are able to communicate with each other and with other connected objects. To ensure the exchange of information flows between the different entities, autonomy, speed and the decentralized concept must be taken into account. Blockchain technology is a distributed register technology. It is the solution to overcome these challenges and to guarantee vehicular communication. This research work deals primarily with this new technology and its applications in IoV.We then present a multi-agent model of vehicle communication based on Blockchain technology and smart contracts.
