Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of identifying one or more blockchain members of a vehicle platoon placement group, receiving a request to perform a task from the blockchain members, creating a scheduled task date associated with the task, notifying the blockchain members of the scheduled task date, receiving task progress updates corresponding to the blockchain members, and storing the task progress updates in a blockchain.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying one or more blockchain members of a vehicle platoon placement group;
- receiving a request to perform a task from the one or more blockchain members;
- creating a scheduled task date associated with the task;
- notifying the one or more blockchain members of the scheduled task date;
- receiving task progress updates corresponding to the one or more blockchain members;
- and
- storing the task progress updates in a blockchain.
A system, comprising:
- one or more blockchain member devices operated by one or more blockchain members of a vehicle platoon placement group;
- a computing node configured to
- identify the one or more blockchain members;
- receive a request to perform a task from the one or more blockchain members;
- create a scheduled task date associated with the task;
- notify the one or more blockchain member devices of the scheduled task date;
- receive task progress updates corresponding to the one or more blockchain members;
- and
- a blockchain configured to store the task progress updates as blockchain transactions.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- identifying one or more blockchain members of a vehicle platoon placement group;
- receiving a request to perform a task from the one or more blockchain members;
- creating a scheduled task date associated with the task;
- notifying the one or more blockchain members of the scheduled task date;
- receiving task progress updates corresponding to the one or more blockchain members;
- and
- storing the task progress updates in a blockchain.
