B-MARCO: a blockchain-driven multi-national auction and resource optimization framework for cross-border logistics and trade
Cross-border maritime logistics faces critical inefficiencies stemming from fragmented data and capacity matching. Addressing this, B-MARCO presents a novel, blockchain-driven framework for auction-based resource optimization. Our research validates B-MARCO’s performance through discrete-event simulation, demonstrating a 91.80% transaction success rate and a 21.53-hour average end-to-end latency—a significant improvement over existing batch-clearing methods. These findings underscore the value of integrated market clearing and dispatch optimization for enhanced global trade.
