Design and Implementation of a Fleet Management System Using Blockchain

Abstract

Efficient management of vehicle fleets is nial for modern transportation networks, but old-fashioned centralized systems often face issues like data changes, lack of transparency, and inefficient processes. This paper presents a blockchain-based Fleet Management System that combines Distributed Ledger Technology with IoT devices to ensure secure, transparent, and tamper-proof operations. The system uses a multi-layered design that includes client, application, blockchain, consensus, and database layers, making it flexible and easy to expand. Smart contracts help automate tasks like checking drivers, planning vehicle maintenance, and handling payments, reducing the need for manual work and increasing accuracy. Real-time vehicle tracking using IoT sensors and GPS improves monitoring, while blockchain's ability to keep data unchanged builds trust and ensures reliability among all users. A comparison shows this system offers better reliability, lower costs, and more trust than traditional methods. The results show that using blockchain for fleet management provides a sustainable, efficient, and future-ready solution for smart transportation systems.
