# Enhanced Scalability and Security in Blockchain-Based Transportation Systems for Mass Gatherings
## 4 Results and Findings
### Case Studies Validating the Proposed System
By incorporating smart contracts, assignments were carried out dynamically, whereby the shuttles' routes were sorted, significantly decreasing travel time and increasing the ease of movement. This resulted in a 30% reduction in travel time for attendees, enabling spectators to reach the stadium quickly and reliably. Non-compliant vehicles attempting to access VIP or restricted zones were unable to proceed, as the decentralized identity verification system of the blockchain only allowed approved vehicles to enter specific transport areas. This solution resulted in a 40% decrease in unauthorized access and a significant improvement in security. The use of blockchain at the Super Bowl was also beneficial in the context of cybersecurity, in addition to the industry-level benefits of improved transportation and enhanced security. The old ticketing and transport mechanisms can be vulnerable to attacks such as ticket scaling and illegal copying, which can compromise security and result in financial loss. This is because, through blockchain, the system provides a safe, uncorrupted electronic record of ticket verification. This not only deterred fraud but also greatly increased the attendees' confidence in the event's security infrastructure. Moreover, examples of blockchain-based transportation systems, such as those used for the Olympic Games and the Super Bowl, have demonstrated performance enhancements in specific areas, including improved scalability, security, and efficiency. Blockchain technology also enabled real-time travel optimization, improving transit activities, reducing congestion among people, and minimizing delays for attendees and participants. The use of decentralized identity verification in combination with smart contracts enables the minimization of fraud and unauthorized access incidents by limiting access to restricted sections to authorized vehicles, as only these vehicles can gain access to restricted sections. In addition, the system's scalability was demonstrated by its ability to handle millions of transactions and provide real-time updates without network overload, a significant concern in global-scale applications. The system's scalability was achieved through Rollups in the blockchain framework, which made it easy to accommodate the bulk of information generated during the events. Additionally, the use of blockchain-based solutions was found to be economically efficient, eliminating the need for large-scale manual intervention and enhancing the overall operational efficiency. These case studies make it clear that the blockchain is not only a hypothetical solution but a working device, capable of increasing the scalability and security of mass transportation systems. With the blockchain's achievement in the Olympics and the Super Bowl, its use in future major worldwide events is expected to be leveraged, as transportation and security are the primary concerns. Blockchain also solves some of the most critical issues, like congestion, unauthorized access, and vehicle management inefficiencies. It is emerging as a crucial instrument in enhancing the transportation experience during large-scale events.
