Content access and downloading in vehicular environments is expected to heavily rely on the availability of roadside infrastructure. Although vehicle-to-vehicle communication is foreseen, data will mostly flow through roadside access points, or RSUs (RoadSide Units), which suffer from less connectivity problems. However, at least in the early stages of deployment, the RSU coverage will be spotty, or limited to main avenues in urban areas. In this paper, we try to address such shortcomings by investigating the possibility of exploiting parked vehicles to extend the RSU service coverage. Our approach leverages optimization models aiming at maximizing both the freshness of the content that downloaders retrieve and the efficiency in the utilization of radio resources. Performance evaluation highlights that the use of parked vehicles enhances the benefits of the content downloading process and leads to a significant offload of the RSUs, with respect to the case where only mobile relays are used.
