Abstract - The blockchain-based vehicle authentication and tracking system utilizes networks like Ganache, which is based on the Ethereum network, to revolutionize the management of vehicle data using a secure, decentralized approach. It ensures transparency and access to vital information, including service records, through an immutable ledger, making it possible for stakeholders to make informed decisions. The system's key features include real-time service updates directly from authorized service centers, robust anti-fraud mechanisms to prevent data tampering, and a user-friendly interface developed with Angular for intuitive access to essential functionalities.
Smart contracts play a pivotal role by automating key operations, such as service record validations and process workflows, eliminating the need for intermediaries and reducing human error. Integration of decentralized storage, such as with IPFS, ensures highly available data, high security, and immunity to loss of data. In this innovative new system, besides trust and integrity towards the users, operational efficiency increases and new standards of transparency and security in the automotive industry are set. Its scalable design will mean that it can adapt to future development and widespread uptake by the industry.
