Blockchain Technology for Vehicle Maintenance Registration

Abstract

Vehicle maintenance is done regularly by vehicle owners to maintain the best performance to avoid harmful effects, such as accidents. However, according to the news, counterfeit spare parts can easily found in vehicle maintenance workshops. Therefore, this study tries to use blockchain technology to record the vehicles for sparepart maintenance. Several previous studies have mentioned the benefits of blockchain technology that can carry out tracking and tracing in the automotive industry, but no discussion on the laboratory-based experiments to see how the implementation of blockchain technology for vehicle identification registration which in the future can be used for tracking components in vehicles. Therefore, this study simulates the recording of vehicle identities using a multichain application. This qualitative research was carried out by doing field observations and discussions with experts in related fields. The simulation results in the laboratory are shown to the expert as a discussion material for validation. From the validation results, it can be concluded that blockchain technology can be used to record vehicle identities, which can be developed for tracking spare parts in vehicles. This result is beneficial for business actors to improve the quality of vehicles.
