Blockchain Applications for Mobility-as-a-Service Ecosystem: A Survey.

The emerging technologies on automatic driving and connected vehicles will eventually enable a vast amount of applications regarding Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). However, the design and management of proprietary MaaS operators and integrator will have a great impact in developing this new ecosystem. The complexity of MaaS ecosystem requires decentralized and scalable solutions in order to accommodate a wide range of transportation services. Permissionless blockchain can be leveraged to support MaaS in managing transactions, identity and smart contracts. In this paper, we analyze some of the pioneering works in the field and identify he potential contributions on how can MaaS benefit from blockchain technology.
