The main objective of this paper is to fill the gap of the current state of the arts in vehicular social networking cooperation methods and to indicate open issues that researchers should work on. Vehicular Social Network (VSN) is a cutting-edge communication system that provides an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services to the vehicles for providing fast information transmission and safety. VSN communications systems are mainly Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to Vehicle

In Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET), every node is armed device called On-Board Unit (OBU) and set of unwired sensors for node communication. A communication that mostly used for road safety application for example for collision avoidance is V2V. On the other hand non-safety applications for example navigation assistance and advertisement are handled with V2I communication. Vehicular Social Networking (VSN) formation is for three major reasons that are: (1) for an emergency, (2) for utility, and (3) for entertainment purposes. In VSN communication, there are Selfish vehicles that continuously trying to save their energy by deliberately fall the messages. To inspire these selfish nodes in forwarding packets, several credit-based and reputation-based stimulating protocols are suggested. Due to the exceptional features of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), including the huge variation in network conditions and lack of periodic path, still it's difficult to detect DTN nodes' misbehave conducts. The major cooperation methods in VSN include punishment-based, incentive-based, reputation-based and misbehavior detection-based approaches. We collected a total of 70 papers and after doing exclusion criterion 38 papers were reviewed.
