## Abstract

An example operation may include one or more of receiving, by a server, an accident report from a transport, accessing, by a server, at least one media file associated with the report on a remote storage, analyzing, by the server, the media file to assess a damage to the transport, and storing the damage assessment onto the remote storage.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
receiving a report of an accident by a server, the accident involving a transport of a plurality of transports that comprise a plurality of blockchain peers;
in response to the receiving the report, accessing by the server a video file created by the transport and stored in a remote storage;
identifying a timestamp of the video file by the server;
in response to a blockchain consensus among the plurality of blockchain peers, accessing by the server two or more video files that were created by two or more transports of the plurality of transports and stored in the remote storage;
identifying sections of the two or more video files having timestamps within a preset range of the timestamp of the video file by the server;
combining by the server the sections of the two or more video files;
assessing by the server damage to the transport based on the sections that have been combined; and
generating a damage assessment report by the server, wherein the damage assessment report comprises information regarding the damage to the transport.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the report further comprises:
receiving the report via a blockchain ledger.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
executing a blockchain transaction to store the damage assessment report on a blockchain ledger.

### Claim 4

A system, comprising:
a processor that, when executing one or more instructions stored in an associated memory, is configured to:
receive a report of an accident involving a transport of a plurality of transports of that comprise a plurality of blockchain peers;
in response to the report being received, access a video file created by the transport and stored in a remote storage;
identify a timestamp of the video file;
in response to a blockchain consensus among the plurality of blockchain peers, access two or more video files that were created by two or more transports of the plurality of transports and stored in the remote storage;
identify sections of the two or more video files having timestamps within a preset range of the timestamp of the video file;
combine the sections of the two or more video files;
assess damage to the transport based on the sections that have been combined; and
generate a damage assessment report comprising information regarding the damage to the transport.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the processor receives the report via a blockchain ledger.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The system of claim 4, wherein the processor is further configured to:
execute a blockchain transaction to store the damage assessment report on a blockchain ledger.

### Claim 7

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor of a server, cause the processor to perform:
receiving a report of an accident, the accident involving a transport of a plurality of transports that comprise a plurality of blockchain peers;
in response to the receiving the report, accessing a video file created by the transport and stored in a remote storage;
identifying a timestamp of the video file;
in response to a blockchain consensus among the plurality of blockchain peers, accessing two or more video files that were created by two or more transports of the plurality of transports and stored in the remote storage;
identifying sections of the two or more video files having timestamps within a preset range of the timestamp of the video file;
combining the sections of the two or more video files;
assessing damage to the transport based on the sections that have been combined; and
generating a damage assessment report comprising information regarding the damage to the transport.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the receiving the report further comprises:
receiving the report via a blockchain ledger.
