Abstract

In an aspect a system for tracing a transport. A system includes a computing device. A computing device is configured to identify at least a transport entity of a plurality of transport entities of a transport using a unique identifier of a first node of an immutable sequential listing. A computing device is configured to record a verified unique identifier of at least a transport entity in a first data block of an immutable sequential listing. A computing device is configured to communicate transport data with at least a transport entity through a first node of an immutable sequential listing. A computing device is configured to generate an error mapping of at least a transport entity.
