Driver’s reputation management system using blockchain for smart city

Abstract

The driving system, in all its disorganized scale has long thrown a shadow of unpredictability and fluctuation making it concerning for public safety. A blockchain based driver reputation management system for smart city is analyzed and explored in this research from the global perspective. Managing driver behavior and guaranteeing road safety have emerged as pressing issues in the wake of the meteoric rise of “Smart cities” throughout the world. The proposed system uses blockchain technology and IPFS (Inter Planetary File System) to assist with data management, reliability, and privacy concerns from the perspective of emerging smart cities of Bangladesh. With the help of the reputation algorithm, the system ensures a reliable assessment of a driver’s actions, enhancing the efficiency of subsequent decisions on sanctions and rewards, as well as driver management, in more general terms. This accuracy promotes accountability, encourages drivers to improve their behavior, and contributes to the overall goal of enhancing road safety in smart cities.
