DISRUPTION ON A GRAND SCALE: BLOCKCHAIN AND DISTRIBUTED

LEDGER TECHNOLOGY

Sir Nic Cary

WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN? “A continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography”

Think of it as a distributed, immutable, electronic ledger

HOW DOES BLOCKCHAIN WORK? Let’s use a financial transaction…

WE NO LONGER NEED A CENTRAL AUTHORITY… Until recently we relied exclusively on a trusted third party to keep the score:

• Banks

• ERP systems

• Etc, etc

Now we don’t have to…

CAN WE USE BLOCKCHAIN FOR TRANSPORT? • Yes, you can use it anywhere where trust

is an issue

• Some organisations are betting the farm on it

• Others are betting the farm on them

BLOCKCHAIN OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRANSPORT • Logistics

• Ride hailing and sharing

• C-ITS (Cooperative ITS)

• Vehicle to vehicle communications

• Vehicle to infrastructure communications

• Lorry platooning, and of course…

• Mobility as a Service

BLOCKCHAIN SOLVES A BIG CHALLENGE FOR MaaS…

To be truly successful MaaS depends on the seamless integration of transport across:

• every mode

• every layer

• multiple suppliers

• disparate territories

That is why we need a solution such as the TSio Protocol being developed by Travelspirit

TRAVELSPIRIT TSio PROTOCOL Design objectives:

• Support ecosystem of intelligent mobility services

• Provide system interoperability and roaming capability

• Create trusted multilateral commercial arrangements

• Reduce transaction costs

• Fast verification & compatibility with low power devices

• Prevent fraud and assist customer data portability
