To solve the problems exposed by the application of blockchain technology under complex scenarios, such as fraudulent use of data, hard to store huge amounts of data, and low traceability efficiency under an ultra-huge number of traceability requests, this paper constructs an image-based interactive traceability structure by using images as an enhancement. By adding pointers to raw image files, a specific file structure is formed for traceability, and the traceability process is separated from the verification process, therefore realizing the distributed traceability of “traceability off the chain and verification on the chain”. The experimental results show that, compared with the traditional blockchain traceability mode, the interactive traceability structure can reduce the data retrieval pressure and greatly improve the traceability efficiency of a specific transaction chain. With the growth of the span of the transaction chain, the traceability efficiency advantage of the interactive traceability structure becomes more obvious.
To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, many countries have established regional carbon emission trading markets and tried to build a low-carbon economic system. At present, the implementation of carbon emission trading and low-carbon economic systems faces many challenges such as manipulation, corruption, opacity, lack of trust, and lack of data tracking means. The application of blockchain technology can perfectly solve the above problems. However, the data recorded on a blockchain are often multi-type and heterogeneous, and users at different levels such as regulators, enterprises, and consumers have different requirements for data types and granularity. This requires a quick and trustworthy method for monitoring the carbon footprint of enterprises and products. In this paper, the carbon footprint traceability of enterprises and products is taken as an application scenario, and the distributed traceability concept of “traceability off the chain and verification on the chain” is adopted. By reconstructing the pointer of the file structure of the distributed storage, an interactive traceability structure supporting type filtering is constructed, which enables fast retrieval and locating of carbon emission data in the mixed data on the chain. The experimental results show that using the interactive traceability structure that supports type filtering for traceability not only releases the computing power of full nodes but also greatly improves the traceability efficiency of the long-span transaction chain. The proposed carbon footprint traceability system can rapidly trace and track data on an enterprise’s and a product’s carbon footprint, as well as meet the needs of users at all levels for traceability. It also offers more advantages when handling large amounts of data requests.
Background and Aim In the long-term prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic, parameters may change frequently for various reasons, such as the emergence of mutant strains and changes in government policies. These changes will affect the efficiency of the current emergency logistics network. Public health emergencies have typical unstructured characteristics such as blurred transmission boundaries and dynamic time-varying scenarios, thus requiring continuous adjustment of emergency logistics network to adapt to the actual situation and make a better rescue. Practical Significance The infectivity of public health emergencies has shown a tendency that it first increased and then decreased in the initial decision-making cycle, and finally reached the lowest point in a certain decision-making cycle. This suggests that the number of patients will peak at some point in the cycle, after which the public health emergency will then be brought under control and be resolved. Therefore, in the design of emergency logistics network, the infectious ability of public health emergencies should be fully considered (ie, the prediction of the number of susceptible population should be based on the real-time change of the infectious ability of public health emergencies), so as to make the emergency logistics network more reasonable. Methods In this paper, we build a data-driven dynamic adjustment and optimization model for the decision-making framework with an innovative emergency logistics network in this paper. The proposed model divides the response time to emergency into several consecutive decision-making cycles, and each of them contains four repetitive steps: (1) analysis of public health emergency transmission; (2) design of emergency logistics network; (3) data collection and processing; (4) adjustment and update of parameters. Results The result of the experiment shows that dynamic adjustment and update of parameters help to improve the accuracy of describing the evolution of public health emergency transmission. The model successively transforms the public health emergency response into the co-evolution of data learning and optimal allocation of resources. Conclusion Based on the above results, it is concluded that the model we designed in this paper can provide multiple real-time and effective suggestions for policy adjustment in public health emergency management. When responding to other emergencies, our model can offer helpful decision-making references.
