An example operation may include one or more of requesting, by a processor of a device, permissions to provide access to a transport to a diagnostic location from a network of a plurality of diagnostic locations, in response to receiving the permissions from the network of the plurality of the diagnostic locations, authenticating the diagnostic location, by the device, providing a pre-stored one-time access key to the transport to the diagnostic location, and receiving, by the device, diagnostics from the diagnostic location.

Remote access of transports

Methods and systems for maintaining telematics data. The system includes a standard vehicle. The standard vehicle includes one or more sensors configured to detect telematics data, a memory configured to store a blockchain associated with the standard vehicle, an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to update the blockchain associated with the standard vehicle with the detected telematics data, and a transceiver configured to communicate the blockchain to one or more other vehicles. The system also includes a collection vehicle. The collection vehicle includes a transceiver configured to receive the blockchain from the standard vehicle, and communicate the blockchain from the standard vehicle to a network to update a distributed record of the blockchain associated with the standard vehicle.

Telematics offloading using V2V and blockchain as trust mechanism

Methods and systems for managing a supply of power to a communications system in a vehicle. A power management system obtains at least one of schedule information for a party associated with the vehicle or historical data for the communications system is obtained. The power management system controls the supply of power from a power source to the communication system when the vehicle is turned off based on the at least one of the schedule information or the historical data.

Schedule-based power management system

Apparatus, systems, and methods for tracking vehicle battery usage with a blockchain. One such method includes detecting, using one or more sensors, one or more operating parameters of a vehicle, at least one of the one or more operating parameters being associated with a battery of the vehicle. A battery-critical event is identified based on the detected one or more operating parameters of the vehicle. Information associated with the detected one or more operating parameters of the vehicle is communicated via a network and to a central server; information associated with the detected one or more operating parameters of the vehicle and the identified battery-critical event is aggregated in a blockchain using the central server. The information associated with the detected one or more operating parameters of the vehicle and the identified battery-critical event is queried from the blockchain to ascertain a usage history of the battery.

An example operation may include one or more of connecting, by a processor of a transport, to a network comprised of a plurality of transports, receiving, by the processor of the transport, an access key request to the transport from a device, broadcasting, by the processor of the transport, the request to the network, collecting, by the processor of the transport, authorizations from a subset of the plurality of the transports, and sending a one-time access key to the device, if the authorizations are received from a minimal required number of the transports.

A distributed system and method for associating reputation to device registration is disclosed herein. The systems and methods can include receiving a request for a device interaction from a requesting device. A blockchain registry can then be accessed in response to the request. An approval threshold can be prepared for an approval of the request. Input votes regarding the approval can be received from one or more acting member devices. In response to achieving the approval threshold, the device interaction can be established between the requesting device and one or more connected devices. Then, the device interaction can be recorded in the blockchain registry.
