Ride-sharing is a service that enables drivers to share their trips with other riders, contributing to appealing benefits of shared travel cost and improved access to transportation. However, the majority of existing ride-sharing services rely on a central third party, which make them subject to a single point of failure and privacy disclosure concerns by both internal and external attackers. Moreover, they are vulnerable to distributed denial of service (DDoS) and Sybil attacks due to malicious users involvement. Besides, high service fees should be paid to the ride-sharing service provider. In this paper, we propose a decentralized ride-sharing service based on public Blockchain, named B-Ride. B-Ride enables drivers to propose ride-sharing services without relying on a trusted third party. Both riders and drivers can find rides match while preserving their trip data, including pick-up/drop-off location, departure/arrival date and travel price. However, under the anonymity of the public blockchain, a malicious user may submit multiple ride requests or offers, while not committing to any of them, in order to discover better offer or to make the system unreliable. B-Ride solves this problem by introducing a time-locked deposit protocol for a ride-sharing by leveraging smart contract and zero-knowledge set membership proof. In a nutshell, both a driver and a rider have to show their good willing and commitment by sending a deposit to the blockchain. Later, a driver has to prove to the blockchain on the agreed departure time that he has arrived at the pick-up location. To preserve rider/driver privacy by hiding the exact pick-up location, the proof is performed using zero-knowledge set membership proof. Moreover, to ensure fair service payment, a pay-as-you-derive methodology is introduced based on the elasped distance of the driver and rider. In addition, we introduce a reputation-based trust model to rate drivers based on their past trips without involving any third-parties to allow riders to select them based on their history on the system. Finally, we implement our protocol and deploy it in a test net of Ethereum. The experiment results show the applicability of our protocol atop the existing real-world blockchain.

“…Specifically, blockchain can address the current problems of centralized parking system such as requirement of revealing the private information during booking while searching free parking spaces like destination information and having centralized architecture with possibilities of availability attacks & data leakages. The authors in [76] introduce a blockchainbased scheme so that the vehicle drivers are able to search the available parking spaces to book in-advance in a decentralized and privacy-preserving way. In this scheme, the blockchain concept is utilized to eliminate the problems of centralized system.…”

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an emerging concept that is believed to help realise the vision of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). IoV has become an important research area of impactful applications in recent years due to the rapid advancements in vehicular technologies, high throughput satellite communication, Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems. IoV enables the integration of smart vehicles with the Internet and system components attributing to their environment such as public infrastructures, sensors, computing nodes, pedestrians and other vehicles. By allowing the development of a common information exchange platform between vehicles and heterogeneous vehicular networks, this integration aims to create a better environment and public space to the people as well as to enhance safety for all road users. Being a participatory data exchange and storage, the underlying information exchange platform of IoV needs to be secure, transparent and immutable in order to achieve the intended objectives of ITS. In this connection, the adoption of blockchain as a system platform for supporting the information exchange needs of IoV has been explored. Due to their decentralized and immutable nature, IoV applications enabled by blockchain are believed to have a number of desirable properties such as decentralization, security, transparency, immutability, and automation. In this paper, we present a contemporary survey on the latest advancement in blockchain for IoV. Particularly, we highlight the different application scenarios of IoV after carefully reviewing the recent literatures. We also identify several key challenges where blockchain is applied in IoV, and describe the related works addressing these challenges. Furthermore, we investigate the future opportunities and explore further research directions of IoV as a key enabler of ITS.
