Short-Lived Social Vehicular Network

The Short-Lived Social Vehicular Network (SSVN) represents an innovative fusion of social and vehicular networks, offering a comprehensive solution for security, safety, and alleviating boredom during common route travels plagued by traffic congestion. SSVN addresses the common issue of passengers and drivers feeling bored during traffic jams by enabling the formation of social groups among travelers. These groups serve as platforms for sharing interests, hobbies, and pertinent road safety or traffic-related information. In the SSVN model, passengers find an entertainment outlet through social group clustering, organized based on shared interests and hobbies among travelers traversing the same path. The paper proposes a mathematical model for the formation of these social groups, accompanied by the determination of trustworthiness among group members, employing principles of Graph Theory. This trustworthiness assessment enhances the reliability and cohesion of the social groups within SSVN, fostering a sense of security and camaraderie among travelers.
