Port-to-Port Expedition Security Monitoring System Based on a Geographic Information System

Abstract

Transportation companies operating both domestically and internationally are starting to worry about the safety of cargo freight. Utilizing a GIS-based port-to-port expedition safety monitoring system based on global information system is the appropriate way to handle the security and safety concerns in cargo assets because cargo crime is the largest difficulty facing supply chain companies. Reports will be sent in real time by the system to the central office via the data communication network. The application of tracking and traceability systems (tracking), dispatch (cargo loading and unloading), and access authority for cargo operations are the main topics of this study. Waterfall systems and system design using UML diagrams are the methods utilized in system development. This system employs GPS tracking technology with a digital lock for expedition operations where the position of the cargo dispatch, the location of the pick-up, and the open and closed status of each door container padlock during the field logistics' loading and unloading operations are all tracked in real time.
