Abstract In the recent era, the practical implementation of Autonomous Vehicular Networks (AVNs) with the vulnerable Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication of autonomous vehicles and inadequate intelligent decision-making systems has become a primary concern in smart city mobility. This has led to the traffic congestion concerns such as time wastage, compromised safety, decreased durability and reliability of transportation infrastructure and V2V communication short delay and Roadside Units (RSUs), and reduced traffic flow. To address these issues, secure AVN communication and smart decision-making for autonomous vehicles in smart cities are of utmost importance. It ensures safety on roads, durability of the infrastructure, transparency, reliability, traffic congestion reduction and transportation efficiency. MapReduce is a reliable distributed computing paradigm which is able to analyze and process enormous AVN data in parallel. It contributes to smoother traffic flow by identifying the patterns and providing actionable insights for real-time decision making to decrease congestion. A private blockchain AVN can efficiently solve the problems of data security and reliability by providing tamper-proof record of all the transactions, hence enhancing reliability, and also offering a trusted solution of unauthorized access in real-time V2V communication. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) which is an efficient way to analyze fairness in traffic data over time providing transparency and availability of intricate traffic patterns, improving real-time traffic management with V2V communication and RSUs and reducing short delays that may occur as well as enabling traffic flow and the development of predictive traffic models that assist in decision making. This research proposed an XAI-based transparent model integrating MapReduce for processing large amounts of data and private blockchain technology for secured and tamper-proof vehicular communication. This proposed model is a promising solution for addressing the AVN data security issues and reliability of the system, mitigating negative effects of traffic congestion, and improving the transparency of decision making on the transport efficiency in smart cities. The proposed model provides a better performance than the previous approaches and gets 96% of the accuracy and 4% of miss rate. © 2013 IEEE.
