An Efficient and Secure Approach to the Traffic Fine System Using Hyperledger Fabric

Abstract

Our current, mostly analog system for taking traffic fine and validating documents or certificates (e.g., RC paper, driving license, etc.) is sluggish, complex, and unpredictable. Moreover, recently proposed traffic fine ordinances give rise to bribery. To ensure traffic fine and document verification as a transaction at real-time cost and in a hassle-free way, this paper proposes the use of a permissioned model of blockchain, i.e., hyperledger fabric technology for executing smart contracts. This paper also describes a prototype for carrying out the traditional fine in an efficient, secure, and transparent manner using hyperledger composer. Digitized strategy for validation of documents before each transaction and permissioned technology could supplant the traditional traffic fine system.
