Abstract

Consistent tracking of goods throughout the transportation process is a critical task for cargo-owners, transportation companies and the receiver customers who would get their desired belongings. In this paper, we have proposed a Wireless Sensor Network and cloud server based goods consistent tracking system throughout the transportation chain. Our purposed system does not only monitor the status of the transport vehicle by Waspmote mounted on it, but it has smart sensors placed on cargo inside the vehicle to give periodic data about their location by comparing it with the pre-planned route and to give signal in case the cargo broke or of their attempted theft.
