Title: Road Safety and Convergent IoT/ITS - From Safety Systems to Blockchain
Abstract
Blockchains are set to play a critical role in IoT/ITS systems. Our interest in this talk is its application in making roads safer. In general, road safety continues to be a great concern despite various advances and initiatives. Sweden introduced the Safe System (SS) approach in 1996 as part of a plan to eliminate road fatalities and injuries. Since then, SS has been internationally adopted by the World Health Organization. In this talk, we describe how the SS approach offers a holistic structuring of various innovative solutions in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). We also introduce a necessary extension to the SS approach considering emerging technologies such as connected and computing vehicles and vehicle autonomy. Finally, in facilitating this extension, we illustrate a novel application of blockchain that ensures both road safety, as well as the safety of its connected elements.
