This paper intends to explore the convergence of some technological innovations that could lead to new cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The technologies that might soon converge and lead to some new developments are: the Blockchain Technology (BT) concept, Internet of Things (IoT) and Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV). Advantages and disadvantages of the new concepts founding a new ITS system are discussed in this conceptual paper. Blockchain technology has been recently introduced and many research ideas have been presented for application in the transportation sector. In this paper, we discuss a system that is based on a dedicated blockchain, able to involve both drivers and city administrations in the adoption of promising and innovative technologies that will create cooperation among connected vehicles. The proposed blockchain-based system can allow city administrators to reward drivers when they are willing to share travel data. The system manages in a special way the creation of rewards which are assigned to drivers and institutions participating actively in the system. Moreover, the system allows keeping a complete track of all transactions and interactions between drivers and city management on a completely open and shared platform. The main idea is to combine connected vehicles with BT to promote Cooperative ITS use, a better use of infrastructures and a more sustainable eco-system of cryptocurrencies. A short description of BT is introduced to evidence energy problems of sustainability in the implementation of Proof of Work (PoW) that is adopted by many blockchains.

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have always been an important application of Internet of Things (IoT). Today, big data and cloud computing have further promoted the construction and development of ITS. At the same time, the development of blockchain has also brought new features and convenience to ITS. However, due to the endless emergence of increasingly advanced types of attacks, the security of blockchain-based ITS needs more attention from industry and academia. In this paper, we focus on exploring the primitives in cryptography to guarantee the security of blockchain-based ITS. In particular, the authentication, encryption, and key management schemes in cryptography are discussed. Furthermore, we propose two methods for achieving the threshold key management in blockchain-based ITS. The proposed threshold key management scheme (with threshold t ) enables various stakeholders to recover a secret if the number of participated stakeholders is at least t . It should be noted that the proposed threshold key management scheme is efficient and secure for multiple users in blockchain-based ITS, especially for the data-sharing scenario.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) have become an important research area due to their ability to allow sharing resources among the users to carry out their application and provide services of transport and traffic management. VANET communication allows exchange of sensitive information among nearby vehicles such as condition of weather and road accidents in order to improve vehicle traffic efficiency through Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Many technologies have been developed to enhance ITS. Recently, vehicular cloud computing (VCC) has been developed in order to overcome the drawbacks VANET. VCC technology provides low-cost services to vehicles and capable of managing road traffic efficiently by using the vehicular sources (such as internet) to make decisions and for storage. VCC is considered as the basis for improving and developing intelligent transportation systems. It plays a major role in people's lives due to its safety, security, trust, and comfort to passengers and drivers. This chapter investigates the vehicular cloud computing. The authors first concentrate on architectures. Then, they highlight applications and features provided by VCC. Additionally, they explain the challenges for VCC. Finally, the authors present opportunities and future for VCC.

In this paper, we present an integrated message framework of BSM and CAM/DENM as safety messages for V2X communications of connected vehicles in VANETs, and apply it to the mobile virtual fence(MVF), which has been preliminarily researched and developed. To do this, the proposed message framework become united an integrated framework adding up context-aware information of the MVF after comparing and analyzing whether or not the common fields between are. And then, the integrated messages are parsed according to the type of original messages at the destination such as vehicles, ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems), pedestrians that it received.
