The adoption of charging vehicles in Rajshahi has emerged as a significant step towards reducing air pollution and promoting a healthy, green city. However, the current centralized licensing system poses challenges such as time-consuming processes and the potential for fraudulent activities. To address these issues, this paper proposes the implementation of a secure and decentralized smart licensing system for charging vehicles in Rajshahi City Corporation, leveraging the smart capabilities of blockchain technology. By utilizing Hyperledger Fabric, the implementation generates blockchain based smart contracts that automate and streamline the licensing process smartly and efficiently. This approach ensures the immutability, transparency, and integrity of license records, minimizing the risk of fraud and enhancing overall efficiency. Additionally, the system incorporates the use of QR codes and an inquiry system to enhance the credibility of paper-based licenses. Compared to other digital licenses, this blockchain-based method significantly reduces risks and contributes to the development of a greener and more sustainable Rajshahi city environment. Furthermore, the introduction of a sustainable business policy, utilizing the G2C model, facilitates revenue generation and distribution fairly and equitably for all stakeholders involved in the charging vehicle ecosystem. This implementation not only offers cost benefits and efficiency improvements for drivers but also promotes a sustainable and environmentally friendly city.
