Abstract: The disclosure provides a botanical processing module, comprising a housing, wherein the housing comprises a plurality of surfaces, wherein there is an internal cavity defined between the plurality of surfaces; a first inlet disposed on a top surface of the housing; a second inlet disposed on a first side surface of the housing, wherein the first side surface is orthogonal to the top surface; a first outlet disposed on the first side surface; a controller, wherein the controller comprises a processor; a memory; and a display, wherein the display is disposed on a second side surface of the housing, wherein the second side surface is orthogonal to both the top surface and the first side surface; a grinder; and a first heating chamber; wherein the grinder and the first heating chamber are disposed within the internal cavity of the housing, wherein the first heating chamber is coupled to the grinder.

Abstract: An electronic toll data collection management system comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein at least one of the plurality of nodes is a toll collection point, wherein the toll collection point comprises: a computing system; and a receiver; wherein each of the plurality of nodes has access to a copy of a distributed ledger, wherein the processor of each of the plurality of nodes is configured to: utilize blockchain protocols to verify and record a transaction occurring within the distributed ledger; parse through the blockchain to locate the block containing the transmitted data from the transmitter, de-encrypt the block, and extract the data; and encrypt a new block indicating a debit to an account of an operator of a vehicle, wherein the account is identifiable through the transmitted data from the transmitter.

Abstract: An electronic toll data collection management system comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein at least one of the plurality of nodes is a toll collection point, wherein the toll collection point comprises: a computing system; and a camera; wherein each of the plurality of nodes has access to a copy of a distributed ledger, wherein the processor of each of the plurality of nodes is configured to: utilize blockchain protocols to verify and record a transaction occurring within the distributed ledger; parse through the blockchain; perform automated vehicle identification protocols on the extracted data to determine a license plate number of the vehicle in the one of the one or more images flagged by the computing system; and encrypt a new block indicating a debit to an account of an operator of a vehicle, wherein the account is identifiable by the license plate number.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to implementing an electronic toll data collection management system in a decentralized computing network that employs a distributed ledger. An electronic toll data collection management system may comprise a plurality of nodes, wherein the plurality of nodes are connected to each other over a communication network. Each node may have access to a copy of a distributed ledger, wherein the plurality of nodes is configured to utilize blockchain protocols to verify and record a transaction occurring within the distributed ledger. Data may be recorded as a block, wherein a blockchain is formed by the addition of blocks. Each block may be encrypted and linked to a previous block, wherein a consensus must be reached to update the distributed ledger with the addition of a new block.
