Abstract

This paper proposes a parking management system that is geared towards business entities. The proposed system will focus on privacy for the different entities who use the system. In a business setup, performance, scalability, and privacy should be at the centre stage. The paper aims to improve on already existing research on smart parking using blockchain. Most of the research done focuses on single entity privacy, single point of failure for the systems deployed on cloud databases, and geographical censorship. This paper proposes a parking management system that will be based on JPMorgan Quorum. The system will focus on privacy, performance, scalability and multiple entities interaction.
