Blockchain-Based Framework for Secure Monitoring of Vehicles Traffic Flow System
Nawar A. Sultan, Rawaa Putros Qasha · 2023
Blockchain and big data are two innovative technologies that have emerged in the 21st century and can potentially revolutionize various industries. The integration of these technologies may lead to a robust and secure data management and sharing framework. One of the applications that could benefit from this integration is vehicle flow monitoring. In this study, a new framework that combines blockchain and big data for vehicle flow monitoring has been designed and implemented. The framework has several features, such as increasing transaction throughput, making the blockchain more scalable, high availability, and searching in full text. The process of integrating blockchain and big data makes big data management easier, more structured, more meaningful, and facilitating data analysis in a secure way. The proposed framework consists of three key components: data collection and Data Streaming using Apache Kafka, blockchain network, and storage services using Apache Cassandra and elastic search. As a result, blockchain and big data integration are developed to be used for real-world applications such as vehicle flow monitoring.
