Today’s cities face numerous challenges due to climate change and urbanization. The concept of a smart city aims to help cities to address these challenges by adapting modern information and communication technology. Smart mobility and transportation form one important aspect of smart cities. Inefficient mobility in cities can lead to problems such as traffic congestion, which results in frustration for residents and a decrease in the quality of life. Against the backdrop of global warming, cities also strive to reduce CO2 emissions, an attempt which requires sustainable and novel mobility concepts. Blockchain is a current technology, said to have huge potential, that is being investigated for application in many facets of smart cities. In the context of smart mobility, blockchain can be used for transactions relating to ridesharing and electric charging, handling of interactions of platoon members, or serving as a foundation for communication between vehicles. Although initial research about this topic exists, it is distributed among different use-cases and applications. This article conducts a systematic literature review to analyze blockchain’s role in mobility and transportation in smart cities, and its potential to increase efficiency in these areas. With this review, we aim to consolidate and summarize the current knowledge about this topic. As a first result, we present the findings from our literature review, which can be divided into five categories of use-cases. We also present a platform for further research about this emerging topic by identifying promising future research avenues. For this purpose, we derive a future research agenda based on our findings.

This paper presents wChain, a blockchain protocol specifically designed for multihop wireless networks that deeply integrates wireless communication properties and blockchain technologies under the realistic SINR model. We adopt a hierarchical spanner as the communication backbone to address medium contention and achieve fast data aggregation within O(log N log Γ) slots where N is the network size and Γ refers to the ratio of the maximum distance to the minimum distance between any two nodes. Besides, wChain employs data aggregation and reaggregation, and node recovery mechanisms to ensure efficiency, fault tolerance, persistence, and liveness. The worstcase runtime of wChain is upper bounded by O(f log N log Γ), where f = N 2 is the upper bound of the number of faulty nodes. To validate our design, we conduct both theoretical analysis and simulation studies, and the results only demonstrate the nice properties of wChain, but also point to a vast new space for the exploration of blockchain protocols in wireless networks.

With the revolution in technology, VANET has emerged as a new generation of technology and used globally for intelligent traffic management systems. VANET uses a PKI‐based protocol to maintain privacy and security. Still, some crucial issues remain unresolved, like blind belief in communicated messages, lack of vehicle's interest in participation, revealing the sender vehicle's identity, and maintaining integrity. The solution to these issues will prevent vehicles from propagating fake messages while concurrently protecting the confidentiality of each involved vehicle against tracking attacks. Blockchain, a peer‐to‐peer, immutable, distributed ledger‐based technology, can be adapted as a robust solution to overcome critical challenges and make VANET more secure and reliable. This paper proposes a novel blockchain‐based VANET architecture, blockchain‐based vehicular ad‐hoc network (B‐VANET), implemented on the Hyperledger Fabric platform. B‐VANET aims to secure the network by validating road events before actually updating it on the network. For validation, the trust factor of each vehicle and their past involvement in the network is maintained. Trust factor value decides the trustworthiness of a vehicle. Based on this trust factor, a dynamic endorsement policy is designed. Endorsement policy, part of the smart contract, plays a vibrant role in Hyperledger Fabric. It decides how many and which particular peers can endorse the transaction to make it valid and add it to the ledger. Multiple possible approaches to endorsement policies are identified for B‐VANET and are analyzed using the Hyperledger Caliper tool. These approaches are evaluated for data integrity, confidentiality, and real‐time system issues. An appropriate approach for the B‐VANET system is recognized, giving the best throughput and latency in all possible scenarios. It is analyzed that compared to the worst approach, the best approach achieves an almost 15% increase in throughput and reduces latency by nearly half. We also compared the performance of B‐VANET and other approaches to show that our proposed system better meets VANET's security needs.
