Business economics - Information Management

In this paper, the author analysed the potential of Blockchain in smart mobility. In my research, he has focused on four areas of smart mobility being Vehicular Data sharing, Mobility as a Service, VANET as well as Transport and logistic. In order to give the reader basic information, firstly he gave a definition of Blockchain and Smart mobility, then we moved onto the above-mentioned four areas. At first, we explained the goal and the current status of the system, which problems it possesses and how Blockchain can fix these problems. In the end of his paper, he summarized the main findings and point out the weaknesses of Blockchain and why it can be challenging to implement it in this area. Further, there is also a proposed possible solution to current lack of information in order to give a final review to the potential of Blockchain in smart mobility.
