Luggage Tracking System using Blockchain

This project won the first place at the Dauphine Hackaton 2023 organized by Kryptosphere

Problem

• Travelers often face stress during their journeys due to uncertainty about the whereabouts of their luggage.
• Searching for a lost suitcase can be a lengthy and cumbersome process.
• Currently, only the airline is held responsible for lost baggage.

Solution

Our solution involves implementing a baggage tracking system using a reliable decentralized database on a global scale. The advantages include:

• Tracking the luggage process through a decentralized database.
• Identifying the responsible stakeholder in case of baggage loss.
• Reducing the risk of suitcase loss.

Product

• Creation of a Public Address for Each Suitcase during Registration:
  • Whenever a user registers their suitcase, a unique public address is created for that suitcase.
• Recording Transactions at Each Checkpoint:
  • Whenever the suitcase reaches a checkpoint, it is scanned, and the operator signs the corresponding transaction.
• Traceability Until User Retrieval:
  • The process repeats until the user retrieves their suitcase, allowing for complete traceability.

Achieved MVP

• Creation of a Public Address for Each Passenger and a Unique ID for Each Suitcase:
  • During registration, a public address is assigned to each passenger, and a unique ID is generated for each suitcase.
• Creation of a QR Code for Each Suitcase:
  • Each suitcase is assigned a QR code containing its unique address and ID.
• Scanning the QR Code and Sending Information to a Server:
  • When a QR code is scanned, the associated information is sent to a central server.
• Retrieval by the Smart Contract of the Address and ID:
  • The Smart Contract retrieves the address and ID data, then updates the status of the suitcase based on the reached checkpoint (check-in, in-pending, etc.).
