This article focuses on how to effectively make full use of the storage resources in vehicular cloud. A trust mechanism called DI-Trust (Trust Model Based on Dynamic Incentive Mechanism) is proposed to schedule vehicular cloud storage resource. The discussion is under the scenario of the parking lot where vehicle nodes are in static state. The model can reasonably arrange the suitable scheduling algorithm according to the attribute characteristics of different kind of service requirements. The trust value of a vehicle is updated according to the model to fully utilize the vehicle idle storage resources. The simulation experiment results show that the model can work effectively. It can objectively evaluate trust values of vehicle nodes, and construct the effective resource schedule of the vehicular cloud storage resource to meet needs from users.
