Design Optimization for Subsidy Distribution of Electric Motorcycles with Blockchain: A Case Study in Indonesia

Abstract

The government made a quick decision by providing subsidies for domestic sales of electric vehicles with a fairly large nominal value because, in the last 20 years, Indonesia has become one of the largest producers of carbon emissions in the world, which has an impact on climate change and global warming. This study aims to analyze ways to optimize and update current subsidy distribution to make it more effective and keep it on target for all beneficiaries. We use the case study analysis method in several frameworks related to the previous subsidy distribution mechanism and identify problems in the current framework by integrating blockchain technology. The result is a proposed distribution system framework with a digital marketplace designed specifically for subsidies for government monitoring. We try to involve third parties as payment gateways for rupiah currency transactions, not ethereum digital currency. Our traceability feature utilizes blockchain traceability for program audit traceability.
