Abstract

Abstract: Vehicle automation is one of the main applications of industry 4.0 especially for tourism companies who provide their vehicles to migrants for traveling purposes. It is difficult to maintain trust among the travel agency and the customers. Although there are many existing solutions in the research that addresses the trust issues, but most of the solutions are based on centralized architecture such as cloud computing where the data is prone to various security threats. Motivated by the aforementioned discussion, the authors have proposed a vehicle tracking system based on the integration of blockchain and IoT in this paper. The proposed system will increase the trust among the entities by providing them transparency in tracking details of the vehicle. As the trip details are immutable and decentralized in nature, so, blockchain is used to store the details. Also, the system will generate the trip summary that contains the route detail, the number of kilometres travelled and the total cost of the trip. Tools such as Ethereum, Remix IDE, MetaMask, and RinkeyBy have been used to measure the performance of the system.
