Abstract

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for monitoring and enforcing an automated fee payment in an infrastructure. A mobile device on a verifier's vehicle monitors a record of a transaction of a payment on a distributed ledger. The payment is paid for using a service of the infrastructure and by a mobile device on an infrastructure user's vehicle. The mobile device on the verifier's vehicle captures information of the transaction of the payment and the infrastructure user's vehicle. The information is broadcasted by the mobile device on the infrastructure user's vehicle. The mobile device on the verifier's vehicle determines whether there is a valid transaction of the payment for the service. The mobile device on the verifier's vehicle sends a violation record to an offense reporting address of an infrastructure provider, in response to determining that there is no valid transaction of the payment.
