With the increase in the number of vehicles connected to the cloud, the problems like network congestion and increased delay arises. Thus, to solve such issues new technology is proposed i.e. fog computing. Fog Enhanced Vehicular Services (FEVS) provides the resources for computing, storage etc. for the vehicles but at the edge of the network. The proposed algorithms are simulated using the cloudsim and cloud reports tools, results are analyzed and compared using the cloud analysts tool. Better resource utilization is achieved for the proposed algorithm compared to other algorithms. FEVS model proves to be better than a cloud-only model. Proposed algorithm produces less latency, less response time, low Virtual Machine cost and percentage of utilization of resources is more compared to the cloud-only model.

VANETs’ are a class of mobile ad-hoc network demands resources from cloud to complete and perform numerous applications. One of the major drawbacks of cloud computing services is the delay in the transfer of data from vehicles to cloud and then transferring back to the vehi- cles from the cloud after processing [1]. Cloud computing alone is unable to provide * Daneshwari I. Hatti daneshwari_hatti@yahoo.co.in Ashok V. Sutagundar sutagundar@gmail.com Ameenabegum H.
