Blockchain for Smart Mobility—Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

“…The authors of [85] conducted an experimental analysis and showed that their approach successfully selects suitable mining nodes and secures the network against infiltration attacks. Instead of Ethereum, the authors of [87] used a permissioned blockchain technology called Hyperledger Fabric. Although many different consensus algorithms can be used, [87] recommend the default algorithm for consensus in Hyperledger Fabric, called SOLO.…”

Only one network's node is selected within SOLO for ordering the blocks and updating the blockchain network's ledgers [87].…”

“…Although many different consensus algorithms can be used, [87] recommend the default algorithm for consensus in Hyperledger Fabric, called SOLO. Only one network's node is selected within SOLO for ordering the blocks and updating the blockchain network's ledgers [87]. The authors of [80], on the other hand, recommend the use of the practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) consensus algorithm [117].…”

“…However, it can also mean security against data leakages, the violation of privacy, or attacks on one single point of failure. Thus, decentralization is seen by many authors as a key advantage of blockchain [79,85,87]. The main reasons are that a centralized network or platform may threaten privacy and lead to dependency on rules fixed by the controlling parties [98].…”

“…Despite all the work done, however, several open questions still remain. First, the question of how misbehavior can be detected reliably is something that needs closer investigation [87]. Although initial ideas exist, these must be rigorously tested in a realworld setting as a next step.…”
