Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is expected to improve our driving experience through enhanced safety, security, robustness, and infotainment. Nevertheless, despite considerable amount of research, VANET did not make it, at least not on a full scale, to the deployment stage because of many issues including security and privacy. However it is speculated that in the future high-end vehicles, on-board computation, communication, and storage resources will be under-utilized. Therefore, recently a new paradigm shift from conventional VANET to vehicular cloud computing was envisioned. This paradigm shift was realized through merging VANET with revolutionary cloud computing. Clearly cloud computing is one of today’s tempting technology areas due, at least partially, to its virtualization and cost-effectiveness. However, to date the potential architectural framework for VANET-based cloud computing has …
