Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) involve integrating information and communication technologies with traffic infrastructure and vehicles to support the development of more sustainable transportation systems. However, ITS face security, reliability, and efficiency challenges in storage and sharing real-time critical data. To address these issues, we propose an architecture based on edge computing and blockchain to enable secure data storage and sharing for ITS. By leveraging edge computing capabilities and blockchain's distributed ledger technology, our architecture enhances data security, ensures data integrity, and improves real-time data processing in ITS. We analyze a smart parking system application scenario, and the results demonstrate a significant reduction in average latency and storage usage, highlighting the positive impact of our solution on enhancing the overall performance and reliability of ITS.
