SMART RELIEF DISTRIBUTION PLATFORM

Abstract

In the aftermath of disasters, the timely distribution of relief kits to affected populations often faced significant challenges, including logistical inefficiencies, delays, and a lack of transparency. To address these issues, this study introduced a Smart Relief Distribution Platform designed to streamline the allocation, delivery, and tracking of emergency supplies. The proposed system ensured equitable and efficient distribution by integrating advanced user registration, real-time tracking, and delivery management mechanisms. The system began with user registration through government-issued IDs, which captured personal, family, and live location details to prioritize aid distribution. A unique token ID was generated for each user, enabling secure, transparent delivery while preventing misuse. The architecture empowered administrators to oversee critical processes, such as allocating delivery personnel and managing relief kit inventory. Delivery personnel were verified using their government IDs and assigned unique delivery IDs, enhancing accountability during distribution.A key component of the architecture was live delivery tracking, which leveraged geolocation to monitor delivery progress in real time. This ensured that kits were delivered directly to recipients’ locations, minimizing delays and reducing operational inefficiencies. Additionally, the system provided a feedback loop for delivery personnel and administrators to further optimize logistics. By addressing challenges in traditional disaster relief operations, such as mismanagement and delays, this system offered a robust framework that enhanced reliability and fostered trust among affected communities. The integration of real-time tracking, tokenization, and user-friendly interfaces made it a scalable and efficient solution for disaster management worldwide.
