Who can tell me about the Channels?

Channels are the key to Hyperledger Fabric privacy and access control. In LaneAxis, the channels are personal to every every carrier and shipper, and have a many-to-many type of relation, which means a carrier can be in channel with multiple shippers at any given time and a shipper can also be in channel with multiple carriers at any time. The channels ensure that trip-related specifics such as the agreed upon cost for services is kept abstracted from the primary blockchain.

What do you need to access?

The drivers need to be part of the blockchain either directly by acting as a node, or indirectly by using rest services from the carrier node that the driver belongs to. All iot-related information will exist in the channel and only actors who are part of this channel will be able to access it. One common user to all the channels will be the bot, which will enable smart recommendations and trigger smart alerts during a trip if and when required. Below are the types of transactions and access control privileges for different actors in a channel.

what exactly does the bot do?

The LaneAxis bot creates a list of carriers best suited to undertake the contract, then forwards it to the
shipper. This list is created from the total number of carrier auto-acceptances and the manual
acceptances. This list of recommendations is created by the LaneAxis bot, based on a patented
algorithm.
