AN INNOVATIVE DASHCAM MULTIMEDIA PRESIDENCY TECHNIQUE USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO SHARE INFORMATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF INCORRUPTION IN V2V TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

Abstract

A Dashcam, which is a dashboard camera, is affixed to the front or rear of a vehicle for the purpose of capturing images and videos. Its utility spans crime deterrence, accident management, and even as a resource for teaching Traffic Accident Detection technology in Autonomous Vehicles. The practice of employing Dashcams to enhance Autonomous Vehicle technology is on the rise. However, due to the reliance on memory cards or cloud platforms for storing multimedia content, there exists an elevated vulnerability to information loss and fraudulent manipulation.

Although the application of blockchain technology and distributed storage can mitigate forgery and tampering risks, the integrity and confidentiality of visual data stored within the blockchain remain uncertain. To address this challenge, we propose an approach rooted in multi-signature-based access control. This technique involves organizing and retaining video data from multiple vehicles by leveraging GPS (Global Positioning System) data. The goal is to safeguard the privacy of video content preserved within the blockchain. Consequently, solely individuals who have uploaded videos tied to relevant GPS data and those with authorized access from pertinent authorities will be permitted to access Dashcam videos from nearby sources.
