Advancements in Vehicular Communication Systems: Integrating IoT, Edge Cloud Computing, Microgrid Energy Management, Blockchain, AI, and Simulation Tools

Abstract

The rapid evolution of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) has paved the way for transformative advancements in smart microgrid energy management. It delves into the integration of cutting-edge technologies, including IoT, edge cloud computing, microgrid energy management, VANET, MobFogSim Simulator, blockchain, and AI, within the context of vehicular communication systems. The paper explores various innovative frameworks, protocols, and simulators designed to enhance the efficiency, security, and intelligence of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Key areas of focus include smart microgrid energy management, network slicing in vehicular clouds, blockchainbased frameworks for intelligent transportation, AI techniques for VANETs, secure multi-server authenticated key agreement protocols, scalable blockchain schemes for data sharing, fog computing, and efficient data dissemination algorithms.
