The MaaS system aims to become a universal transportation solution and replace dozens of applications on user devices where they need to install a specific application for a specific mode of transportation.
MaaS Can Process 7 Million Users Data Per DaySony’s MaaS Blockchain system makes use of a new database developed by Sony themselves called Blockchain Common Database (BCBD) which enables MaaS to process 7 million users data per day including their anonymous travel history and revenue allocations. Sony also revealed that the MaaS is the only project which has been chosen by the Netherlands Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management last year after they appealed to firms to develop a blockchain-based solution.
Sony also revealed that the BCDB database won’t be limited to just MaaS and can be utilized for a number of purposes in smart cities. These smart cities need these kinds of transparent data to feed a network of large scale sensors.
