A transportation security system applying RFID and GPS
Abstract: This paper is about
developing a centralized, internet based security tool which utilizes RFID and
GPS technology to identify drivers and track the load integrity.
Design/methodology/approach: The system will accomplish the security
testing in real-time using the internet and the U.S. Customs’ database (ACE). A
central database and the interfaces and communication between the database and
ACE will be established. After the vehicle is loaded, all openings of the
tanker are sealed with disposable RFID tag seals.
Findings/value: An RFID reader and GPS tracker wirelessly connected with
the databases will serve as testing grounds for the implementation of security
measures that can help prevent future terrorist attacks and help in ensuring
that the goods and products are not compromised while in transit. The system
will also reduce the labor work of security check to its minimum.
