Traffic Regulation Using Advanced Internet Technologies Based on Blockchain

Abstract

Today, a large number of citizens have to use public transport as well as their own, in order to go to work, to complete business obligations in different parts of the city or to use them during vacation or recreation. The above implies an organized traffic system that implies the functioning of all entities that directly or indirectly participate in the implementation. A large number of means of public transport, private cars, motorcycles, scooters and cyclists can at a certain moment create congestion that certainly disrupts daily traffic flows. When unplanned actions take place, there is a danger that for a certain period of time there will be a stoppage and even an interruption of traffic on a certain section of the road. Such situations cause nervousness among drivers, decrease concentration and unintentionally cause traffic accidents. The main goal of this paper is to present a model of electronic business that includes remote regulation of traffic from the dispatch centre, available horizontal and vertical signalling using blockchain technology. Innovative blockchain technology is currently the best protection mechanism for digital processes that take place in wired and wireless networks. In addition to the above, the protection system includes the storage, memorization and forwarding of a large amount of information, which, through later analysis, can represent the starting point for planning future models. Traffic regulation based on advanced Internet technologies certainly increases the throughput of major intersections as well as primary roads that are important for fire engines, police and emergency services.
