【Abstract】In this paper, an automated real-time traffic management scheme is proposed by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in an effective and secured way. However, owing to the low computational capability and limited battery capacity of a UAV, multi-access edge computing (MEC) is applied to enhance the performance of an automated UAV-based traffic management scheme. Additionally, blockchain technology is introduced in the automated traffic management scheme to store the traffic record for providing network repudiation and avoiding any third-party interference with the network. An algorithm is developed based on the concept of a pairwise compatibility graph for the UAV-assisted automated traffic management scheme wherein a deep learning (DL) model is used for vehicle detection. Moreover, a two-phase authentication mechanism is proposed for a faster and secure verification process of the registered devices in the proposed scheme. Finally, a result analysis is conducted based on the security analysis and performance analysis to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
