ABSTRACT
Vehicular social networks (VSNs) have emerged by characterizing the social aspects and features of the passengers and drivers in vehicular networks. VSNs provide mobile interaction between users on the road so that the efficiency of communication improves traffic safety. One of the consequences of intelligent systems in vehicular networks is that vehicles can sense the environment and connect to other vehicles. The information is contributed by drivers and passengers through mobile devices and then used to achieve a complex task in vehicular crowdsourcing applications. In addition, the impacts of social characteristics and common interests are researched in the literature to implement in vehicular networks. Crowdsourcing is a distributed problem-solving model used by many organizations to solve a problem and then share the results. The drivers can use their mobile devices to access crowdsourcing applications via the Internet.
