Abstract

With the rapid expansion of global trade, the complexity and diversification of supply chains have become increasingly significant. In particular, the supply chain for hazardous materials, involving chemicals and explosives, requires stringent regulation. Managing the flow of these high-risk goods necessitates a reliable access control system to ensure safety and compliance. Traditional supply chain management systems often rely on centralized databases and record-keeping systems, which are prone to tampering and single points of failure, making them inadequate for current high-security demands. This paper combines blockchain technology with a hazardous materials supply chain model. In the blockchain network, our innovation lies in the introduction of a transaction coordinator to create transaction sets for each supply chain entity along with smart contracts to implement access control for these transaction sets. We also propose a new hazardous materials supply chain model architecture and conduct experimental verification using simulated hazardous materials supply chain data. Our experimental results show that the proposed method performs excellently in throughput and latency tests, demonstrating the potential to enhance the efficiency and security of supply chain management.
