Ethereum and IOTA based Battery Management System with Internet of Vehicles

Abstract

The era of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has influenced the very make and manufacture of vehicles resulting in low pollution and advanced battery life. On the other hand, the internet of things has also expanded allowing a number of devices to stay connected using the internet. Massive drawbacks faced by EVs today are the limitation in battery swapping and charging stations and limitation in the range of batteries used. This proposed paper aims to efficiently manage the best battery system apart from building the essential infrastructure. In some cases battery swapping option is also provided through other EV drivers or at registered stations. Hence a complete database of the EV network is required so that it is possible to swap and charge batteries successfully. An EV management using two blockchains as a data layer and network of the application is implemented in this work. The first step involves the development of a blockchain framework using Ethereum and the next step entails a direct acyclic graph. When integrated, these two methodologies prove to be an efficient platform that offers a viable solution for battery management in Electric Vehicles.
