Emerging Smart Logistics and Transportation Using IoT and Blockchain 论文

摘要

Transportation and logistics management play a vital role in the development of a country. With the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart transportation is becoming a reality. However, these abundant connected IoT devices are vulnerable to security attacks. Recently, Blockchain has emerged as one of the most widely accepted technologies for trusted, secure and decentralized intelligent transportation systems. This research study aims to contribute to the field of logistics and transportation by exploring the potential of IoT and Blockchain technology in smart logistics and transportation. We propose a layered framework, namely BCTLF, for smart logistics and transportation that integrates IoT and Blockchain to provide an intelligent logistics and transportation system. Finally, we present two real-life IoT and Blockchain-based case studies to highlight the contribution of IoT and Blockchain in logistics and transportation.
