Abstract

Presently, blockchain has come up to be one of the most famous and assuring technologies in the smart transportation system. Smart vehicles communicate with each other through internet. Data sharing is important as it encourages more collaboration among the involved participants. So, in order to do secure data sharing in vehicular networks, we require a decentralized mechanism which is scalable and secured. Previously, the collection of road toll was done either manually or by using tools like Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). In this study, we are using blockchain technology for automated toll collection in the smart transportation system. It is a secure and more reliable technology. We have tried to make a decentralized system using blockchain. We have developed a model which uses smart contracts in blockchain for the payment of toll fee. Our work focuses on the better distribution of traffic on highways by diverting the traffic on toll booths with lower traffic. Also, the blockchain keeps the transactions track for every vehicle that passes from the toll.
