Abstract

Recent advancements in digital accident forensics, a conceptual evidence management paradigm developed using smart contracts and interplanetary file system in iov. This paper comprehensively summarizes the Smart contract implementation blockchain framework for vehicle accident investigation in IoV. We investigate comparing some review papers to find the classification of the smart contract. Using blockchain, evidence management provides an immutable and auditable method for investigating and resolving accident cases. Precisely we first investigate the security and privacy threats; therefore, Smart contracts provide effective access control for proof data and reports. On both the public and private Ethereum blockchains, the cost of setting up and executing transactions using smart contracts is assessed. However, we utilized the Inter Planetary File System most efficiently while minimizing memory and execution costs. Finally, we draw open research directions for building future digital-proof management.
