Enforcing data consistency in a transportation network

A system comprising a plurality of nodes that manage a distributed ledger, wherein:

• a first node of the plurality of nodes is configured to:
• receive, from a first computing device associated with an originating hub in a transportation network, a first transaction involving an intent to transfer an asset from the originating hub to a destination hub in the transportation network, wherein the first transaction comprises a detected location of the asset;
• determine a verification that the detected location corresponds to the originating hub;
• store, based at least in part on determining the verification, the first transaction onto the distributed ledger;
• and
• a second node of the plurality of nodes is configured to:
• receive, from a second computing device associated with the destination hub, a second transaction authorizing transfer of the asset to the destination hub, wherein the second transaction references the first transaction;
• and
• store, based at least in part on the second transaction referencing the first transaction, the second transaction onto the distributed ledger.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a first node of a plurality of nodes and from a first computing device associated with an originating hub in a transportation network, a first transaction involving an intent to transfer an asset from the originating hub to a destination hub in the transportation network, wherein the first transaction is generated based on a first command indicating the intent to transfer the asset from the originating hub to the destination hub, and the first transaction comprises an asset identifier;
• obtaining, by the first node and based at least in part on the asset identifier, a detected location of the asset;
• determining, by the first node, a verification that the detected location corresponds to the originating hub;
• and
• storing, by the first node and based at least in part on determining the verification, the first transaction onto a distributed ledger managed by the plurality of nodes.
