Abstract

Internet of vehicle (IoV) is a new way of enhancing vehicle performance and communication. This paper investigates the technology and applications that drive its integration. By dealing with data privacy, speed, and sizing issues, IoV in electric vehicles enhances real-time data transfer, predictive maintenance and route optimisation. The research led to the Blockchain Six-Layer Centralised Architecture Model (BS-LCAM). This research mainly seeks to improve the efficiency and safety of electric vehicles (EVs) and IoV networks. The six levels comprising this paradigm are data link, physical, transport, application and security. For instance, this layer assures that information can be kept safe over networks but cannot get lost or modified without all parties' permission. All these stages are enhanced by blockchain technology. It provides a secure connection for the BS-LCAM framework, allowing fast data storage and seamless interoperability among several IoV constituents. For example, an intelligent mobility system’s flexibility (comprehensive BS-LCAM model) might benefit different areas such as autonomous driving, energy optimization, fleet management and user-centric services. This paper simulates the performance of BS-LCAM model in diverse environments with 97.6 % performance and scalability, 98.7% route optimization and route optimization.
