Blockchain technology conception in digital data collection for damage assessment and L.C.A

In the modern transportation networks, such as metropolitan infrastructures, advanced technologies play a crucial role in enhancing efficiency. Infrastructure management is paramount for safety and sustainability. The integration of IoT and digital technologies in smart infrastructures poses challenges in the evolving digital landscape, particularly in ensuring the security and integrity of monitoring data. This study explores the potential applications of blockchain technology to enhance data authenticity and security in real-time subways monitoring. By leveraging blockchain, the study aims to establish a secure digital twin, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of acquired data. The technology’s decentralized and tamperresistant nature makes it well-suited for safeguarding critical monitoring data, offering a reliable foundation for proactive maintenance strategies. The findings indicate a promising avenue for blockchain in fortifying data management and information security in infrastructure assessment. For these reasons, blockchain could represent a valid solution to the modern challenges involved in the lifecycle management of infrastructure such as subways.
