Operation Mechanisms for Intelligent Logistics System: A Blockchain Perspective

Abstract

Aiming at the current problems of security threats and privacy leak risks in the operation process of related data of intelligent logistics system, and the operation of system lacking of supervision and traceability, this paper proposes to use blockchain technology to resolve these problems. A scheme on applying blockchain in intelligent logistics system is proposed, including operation principle, consensus authentication mechanism, and data storage and access mechanism. By introducing and analyzing the related big data of intelligent logistics system, improving the scientific, rationality, and intelligence of the decision. The basic characteristic of blockchain is traceability. By constructing algorithm models, proposing the realization principles of consensus authentication mechanism. For different events, different ''multi-authentication centers'', intelligent contracts, and blockchain systems are constructed, improving the efficiency and supervision of the operation of intelligent logistics system. By constructing the correlations between the fundamental data that corresponding to different blockchain, and the correlations between the fundamental data that corresponding to the same blockchain, making the related data easier to collect and analyze. By constructing the storage and access mechanism, ensuring the security and confidentiality of the operation data of intelligent logistics system. This paper has provided thought for the application research of intelligent logistics system based on blockchain, and has positive reference value and guiding significance to the development of blockchain application research.

Blockchain technology in supply chain operations: Applications, challenges and research opportunities

“…Blockchain enables authentication, confidentiality, privacy and access control, data and resource provenance, and integrity assurance in the services it provides ( Fu and Zhu, 2019a , Fu and Zhu, 2019b ). It also enables the formation of risk control analytics framework to study the connection among business, information and engineering and to gather an analytics perspective on digitalization in SC ( Ivanov et al, 2019 ).…”

“…It also enables the formation of risk control analytics framework to study the connection among business, information and engineering and to gather an analytics perspective on digitalization in SC ( Ivanov et al, 2019 ). Even in a big production enterprise, blockchain can provide robust risk management due to its ability to scale up as per requirements ( Fu and Zhu, 2019b ). Blockchain is much more secure than traditional IoT systems or traditional security services due to its capabilities of enhanced cybersecurity and better performance ( Kshetri, 2017a ).…”

“… 48 Fu and Zhu (2019a) Here, authors use blockchain and big data technology for integellient logistics systems for operational efficiency and data security. 49 Fu and Zhu (2019b) Authors propose that blockchain manages risk in SC through its application in the big production enterprise SC, where each of the business subject’s problems is resolved and fraud detection is done more robustly. 50 Kim and Laskowski (2018) Blockchain and IoT help in granular provenance of physical goods which are produced and transported in complex, inter-organizational or internationally spanning SCs.…”

Trusted Computation Using ABM and PBM Decision Models for ITS

“…The proposed system optimized the bandwidth utilization without compromising the security of the node in the network. Fu et al [44] proposed a blockchain-based intelligent logistic mechanism using various authentication schemes for supervising logistic operations. Various intelligent contracts, multi-authentication centers, and blockchain systems improved the supervision and efficiency of the system.…”
