Abstract

PurposePresently, existing electric car sharing platforms are based on a centralized architecture which are faced with inadequate trust and pricing issues as these platforms requires an intermediary to maintain users’ data and handle transactions between participants. Therefore, this article aims to develop a decentralized peer-to-peer electric car sharing prototype framework that offers trustable and cost transparency.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a systematic review and data were collected from the literature and existing technical report documents after which content analysis is carried out to identify current problems and state-of-the-art electric car sharing. A use case scenario was then presented to preliminarily validate and show how the developed prototype framework addresses the trust-lessness in electric car sharing via distributed ledger technologies (DLTs).FindingsFindings from this study present a use case scenario that depicts how businesses can design and implement a distributed peer-to-peer electric car sharing platforms based on IOTA technology, smart contracts and IOTA eWallet. Main findings from this study unlock the tremendous potential of DLT to foster sustainable road transportation. By employing a token-based approach this study enables electric car sharing that promotes sustainable road transportation.Practical implicationsPractically the developed decentralized prototype framework provides improved cost transparency and fairness guarantees as it is not based on a centralized price management system. The DLT based decentralized prototype framework aids to orchestrate the incentivize monetization and rewarding mechanisms among participants that share their electric cars enabling them to collaborate towards lessening CO2 emissions.Social implicationsThe findings advocate that electric vehicle sharing has become an essential component of sustainable road transportation by increasing electric car utilization and decreasing the number of vehicles on the road.Originality/valueThe key novelty of the article is introducing a decentralized prototype framework to be employed to develop an electric car sharing solution without a central control or governance, which improves cost transparency. As compared to prior centralized platforms, the prototype framework employs IOTA technology smart contracts and IOTA eWallet to improve mobility related services.
基于点对点电动汽车共享服务的分散式原型框架,实现可持续道路交通
目的目前,现有的电动汽车共享平台都是基于集中式架构,由于这些平台需要一个中介机构来维护用户数据和处理参与者之间的交易,因此面临着信任度不足和定价问题。因此,本文旨在开发一个去中心化的点对点电动汽车共享原型框架,该框架可提供可信任和成本透明的服务。设计/方法/途径本研究采用了系统回顾的方法,从文献和现有技术报告文件中收集数据,然后进行内容分析,以确定当前的问题和最先进的电动汽车共享技术。研究结果本研究提出了一个用例场景,描述了企业如何设计和实施基于 IOTA 技术、智能合约和 IOTA 电子钱包的分布式点对点电动汽车共享平台。本研究的主要发现揭示了 DLT 在促进可持续道路交通方面的巨大潜力。通过采用基于代币的方法,本研究实现了电动汽车共享,从而促进了可持续道路交通的发展。实际意义实际上,所开发的去中心化原型框架提供了更好的成本透明度和公平性保证,因为它不是基于集中式价格管理系统。社会影响研究结果认为,通过提高电动汽车的利用率和减少道路上的车辆数量,电动汽车共享已成为可持续道路交通的重要组成部分。原创性/价值文章的主要创新点在于引入了一个去中心化的原型框架,用于开发一个没有中央控制或管理的电动汽车共享解决方案,从而提高了成本透明度。与之前的集中式平台相比,原型框架采用了 IOTA 技术的智能合约和 IOTA 电子钱包,以改善与移动相关的服务。
