ARCHITECTURE OF A DISTRIBUTED FUNCTIONALLY RESILIENT MONITORING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of methods for ensuring the functional resilience of distributed information systems for vehicle movement monitoring using blockchain technology. Given the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems and the growing requirements for their reliability, ensuring the uninterrupted operation of such systems is critically important for the safety and efficiency of road traffic. In particular, the main challenges for such systems remain resilience to hardware and software failures, adaptation to dynamic changes in transportation infrastructure, protection against cyberattacks, and ensuring the integrity and reliability of data.

The aim of the study is to develop an architecture for distributed systems based on blockchain technology, capable of withstanding failures, cyberattacks, and dynamic load changes. The primary focus is placed on the integration of decentralized consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, and automatic recovery algorithms to ensure operational stability even in cases of partial system failures. Blockchain technology is considered one of the most promising platforms for addressing these challenges due to its unique characteristics, including a decentralized approach, cryptographic protection, immutability of records, and data transparency. The integration of blockchain into vehicle monitoring systems enables the creation of fault-tolerant architectures capable of functioning even under conditions of partial node failures. Additionally, the use of decentralized consensus mechanisms and smart contracts facilitates process automation and enhances the overall efficiency of traffic flow management. The article proposes a software architecture that integrates blockchain technology, decentralized consensus mechanisms, and smart contracts to automate management processes and ensure system adaptability.
