Abstract

As the demand for Logistics, Transportation and Last-Mile Delivery Services continues to rapidly grow, there is an increasing requirement for secure, transparent and real-time Fleet Management Solutions. Current Fleet Management Systems are comprised of fragmented data, limited real-time visibility, security weaknesses and operational inefficiencies. Utilizing the advantages of Blockchain Technology may facilitate next-generation Fleet Tracking and Fleet Management Systems. This article provides insight into how Blockchain-Enabled Real-Time Fleet Tracking may enhance Operational Efficiency, Transparency and Stakeholder Trust. In addition, a comprehensive analysis of Fleet Management Architecture and recent advancements in Blockchain Technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will provide the data to support this research. The study examines how blockchain can be integrated into fleet management systems to improve data integrity, fraud prevention, real-time tracking, and regulatory compliance. Qualitative examination of fleet types (cars, bikes, and drones), quantitative performance evaluation using operational statistics, and case-based assessment of fuel efficiency and delivery performance supplemented by IoT-enabled tracking are used in a mixed-method research Results and discussion show that blockchain-based fleet tracking improves data immutability, real-time visibility, and smart contract automation. After exploring how blockchain integrates with both IoT and AI-powered analytical systems to enhance the efficiency of delivery, decrease fuel consumption, resolve conflict, and create a more secure environment for cyber-users, we determined that issues related to scalability, interoperability, regulatory/legislative frameworks, and initial implementation costs still impede widespread use. We believe that the ability to track fleets in real-time with an integrated blockchain system may help make fleet management “secure,” “smart,” and “transparent.” Overall, the study clearly demonstrates the value of utilizing blockchain technology to create cost-effective, sustainable, and future-ready fleet operations for the logistics sector (e.g., logistics providers) and legislators/technology developers.
