In this paper, we propose an untraditional Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that deploys in a wide-area public transportation network. Based on emerging digitalized supply chain service (including logistics), peer-to-peer/ad-hoc network, blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, our proposed SMADS system has these new features and advantages compared to traditional transportation systems: self-organizing, multi-relayed, across-strangers, decentralized, and sharing-economy-based. We identify two essential requirements for this network system — availability and reliability. To meet these requirements, we compare this network system with existing similar ones and pinpoint two major technical challenges — connectivity/routing maintenance and trust management. We apply latest development in technologies in above-mentioned areas to design solutions to address these challenges. The resulted system can operate on top of existing multiple separate segments of transportation links to form a wide-area transportation network, which enlarges services with low cost. Additionally, the notion has potential application in a wide range of various services. We hope to bring this to readers’ attention for further discussion and improvement.

Abstract


In this paper, we propose an untraditional Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that deploys in a wide-area public transportation network. Based on emerging digitalized supply chain service (including logistics), peer-to-peer/ad-hoc network, blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, our proposed SMADS system has these new features and advantages compared to traditional transportation systems: self-organizing, multi-relayed, across-strangers, decentralized, and sharing-economy-based. We identify two essential requirements for this network system — availability and reliability. To meet these requirements, we compare this network system with existing similar ones and pinpoint two major technical challenges — connectivity/routing maintenance and trust management. We apply latest development in technologies in above-mentioned areas to design solutions to address these challenges. The resulted system can operate on top of existing multiple separate segments of transportation links to form a wide-area transportation network, which enlarges services with low cost. Additionally, the notion has potential application in a wide range of various services. We hope to bring this to readers’ attention for further discussion and improvement.
