AGSS: An Airline Ground Service Supervising System Based on Blockchain

Abstract

Air-ground service systems can effectively dispatch vehicles, thus improving the quality and efficiency of air service and avoiding flight delays. However, the current system lacks oversight and traceability. To be specific, when a dispatching accident happened, it is difficult to find out the root cause of the accident and the one in charge of the accident. Therefore, we construct an airline ground service supervising system based on blockchain named AGSS. In AGSS, each step requires agreements of most organizations. The event and the organizations in charge are recorded in blockchain immutably. It's easy to know what happened and the one responsible when needed. First, AGSS is easy to use with a layered design. Users only need to know the application layer, and other layers are available for the developer to modify low-level code. Then Hyperledger Fabric — a permissioned blockchain framework is adopted by us to implement AGSS. In addition, we carried out experiments about the time cost and throughput. The results show that AGSS can supervise and trace events with low overhead.
