Deskripsi
The sharing of high-quality traffic information plays a crucial role in enhancing the driving experience and safety performance for vehicular networks, especially in the development of electric vehicles (EVs). The crowdsourcing-based real-time navigation of charging piles is characterized by low delay and high accuracy. However, due to the lack of an effective incentive mechanism and the resource-consuming bottleneck of sharing real-time road conditions, methods to recruit or motivate more EVs to provide high-quality information gathering has attracted considerable interest. In this paper, we first introduce a blockchain platform, where EVs act as the blockchain nodes, and a reputation-based incentive mechanism for vehicular networks. The reputations of blockchain nodes are calculated according to their historical behavior and interactions. Further, we design and implement algorithms for updating honest-behavior-based reputation as well as for screening low-reputation miners, to optimize the profits of miners and address spatial crowdsourcing tasks for sharing information on road conditions. The experimental results show that the proposed reputation-based incentive method can improve the reputation and profits of vehicle users and ensure data timeliness and reliability.
