The integration of cloud-fog-edge computing in Software-Defined Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (SDN-VANETs) brings a new paradigm that provides the needed resources for supporting a myriad of emerging applications. While an abundance of resources may offer many benefits, it also causes management problems. In this work, we propose an intelligent approach to flexibly and efficiently manage resources in these networks. The proposed approach makes use of an integrated fuzzy logic system that determines the most appropriate resources that vehicles should use when set under various circumstances. These circumstances cover the quality of the network created between the vehicles, its size and longevity, the number of available resources, and the requirements of applications. We evaluated the proposed approach by computer simulations. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach in coordinating and managing the available SDN-VANETs resources.
