Abstract: Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have emerged as a crucial technology for enabling intelligent transportation systems and improving road safety and traffic efficiency. However, VANETs face significant challenges related to data security, privacy, and trust. Blockchain technology, originally designed for secure and transparent transaction management in cryptocurrencies, has shown promise in addressing these challenges. This paper explores the integration of blockchain into VANETs to achieve secure and efficient data transmission. We present a comprehensive analysis of the potential benefits, underlying mechanisms, and current research efforts in this area. The paper also discusses various security and privacy considerations related to implementing blockchain in VANETs and outlines possible future directions.
Keywords: Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), Blockchain Technology, Secure Data Transmission, Efficient Data Transmission, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Decentralization, Privacy Preservation, Scalability, Consensus Mechanisms, Smart Contracts, Sybil Attack Mitigation, Consortium Blockchains, Proof of Stake (PoS).
