Transport DAO is an open-source Web3 platform that empowers citizens, police, and transport authorities to collaboratively improve road safety, incident reporting, and transport infrastructure management using Ethereum, Filecoin, IPFS, Chainlink, Livepeer, and the broader decentralized stack.
Our mission is to build a transparent, verifiable, and citizen-participatory transport system that reduces accidents, improves emergency response, and enhances mobility services through decentralized technology.
- Improve road safety and reduce congestion through real-time incident reporting and video analytics.
- Crowdsource road intelligence from citizens, drivers, and civic authorities.
- Use Filecoin/IPFS for secure, permanent storage of visual evidence, alarms, analytics, and transport asset data.
- Introduce Transport DAOs for transparent decision-making, vehicle service tracking, and maintenance governance.
- Enable predictive analytics and verifiable incident history using decentralized data.
- Add/manage cameras for incident coverage
- Live video streaming using Livepeer
- Object detection & real-time analytics
- Store snapshots + analytics on IPFS / Filecoin
- Automatic alarms with on-chain metadata
- Store/delete alarms and incident evidence on IPFS
- Anchor IPFS hashes on Ethereum (testnets)
- View alarms, blockchain TXs, and metadata links
- Mobile-first interface for field officers
- NFT-gated proposals & voting (Filecoin FVM)
- Service providers mint RFP NFTs
- Gasless, IPFS-backed voting with verifiable CID chains
- DAO-based contract work management and tender governance
- NFT-based identification for vehicles & spare parts
- Anti-counterfeiting for vital components
- Inter-state travel, license info & pollution checks stored on decentralized infra
- XMTP messaging for admin regions
