Abstract
Many research groups turn their attention to the concept of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET). It allows to establish a sophisticated infrastructure and to provide services during vehicle to vehicle communication (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure communication (V2I). Hence, vehicles are involved in such services due to their computing capabilities, storage resources, network connectivity, etc. The most important service is the vehicular cloud (VC) which is divided into many categories (Storage as a Service (STaaS), Cooperation as a Service (CaaS), Network as a Service (NaaS), etc). In this paper, we propose a financial resource in addition to the vehicular cloud. We suggest to offer the proper incentives which encourage cars to be honest and send trustful warning alerts such as the traffic jam and the fog on the road event. However, to get paid for those contributions provided by cars, we suggest a new rewarding method which unifies the paying process. So, we propose the creation of a new authority called “Score Authority” (SA). This authority has as role to convert vehicles services into points. So each vehicle will have a score's account. Therefore, this score can be used to buy items from the gas station, get mechanical repairing services, etc. To facilitate the use of such score system, we propose a new card which called the “Vehicular Score Card” (VSC). It has the similar specifications as a credit card. The only difference is that it will be refilled by points instead of money.
