Abstract

Smart city blueprint is constructed by increasing deployment of various Internet of Things devices. In this paper, we focus on data transmission and request for lane property right under the domain of an intelligent traffic system. IoT devices are usually deployed in a heterogeneous environment, with the natural gene of decentralization. Compared with cloud-based centralized architecture, in this paper, we introduce blockchain as a decentralized technology to let vehicles jointly collaborate without having to go through a central computing node authority. Data transmission between vehicles uses a peer-to-peer network in which every node communicates directly with every other node, verified by their relevant end-point nodes; lane's acquisition right is approved by all relevant vehicle nodes, as well as with consensus agreed upon via smart contract.
