DPoS-Based Blockchain Payments for Electrified Roads: Ensuring Security, Efficiency and Transparency

The electrification of roads has been identified as an important step toward reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation. However, the traditional payment systems for road usage are not well-suited for electrified roads, as they do not take into account the dynamic nature of the charging process. In this paper, we propose a payment system for electrified roads based on blockchain technology and the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm. Our blockchain-based payment system is designed to provide a secure and transparent platform for the exchange of value between road users and charging stations, while also ensuring fast and efficient payment processing. The proposed payment system addresses several key challenges faced by traditional payment systems, including the need for real-time payment processing, secure and transparent payment tracking, and the ability to handle microtransactions. The DPoS consensus algorithm is used to maintain the integrity of the blockchain and ensure that only valid transactions are included in the ledger.
