BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED FRAMEWORK FOR SLOT BOOKING AND TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION IN LARGE-SCALE EVENTS
Managing transportation and crowd movement during large religious gatherings is a major challenge because thousands of pilgrims travel within a short period of time. Traditional manual methods of registration and transport planning often lead to repeated registrations, overcrowding, delays, poor coordination, and difficulty in maintaining records. This paper presents a blockchain-based system for slot booking and transport management designed for large-scale religious events. The proposed system integrates village-wise registration, travel slot selection, bus assignment, and QR-code ticket generation into a single web-based platform. Blockchain technology is used to securely store booking information, ensuring that records remain transparent and cannot be altered easily.system integrates village-wise registration, travel slot selection, bus assignment, and QR-code ticket generation into a single web-based
