Abstract
Abstract Small parcels are unfortunately subjected to different kinds of risks during the transport and delivery process. Shock is the most severe hazard that can result from kicks, drops, or tosses and by which fragile and sensitive content can be damaged or destroyed. Modern-day parcel delivery methods have a severe impact on the possibility of mechanical damage to transported goods. This article deals with the challenge of creating a simple, inexpensive, and modular logger that can measure mishandling and environmental conditions during parcel transport and delivery. The proposed logger is a small electronic device that can be sent together with the shipped content, thus simultaneously detecting and recording possible mishandling incidents during both transport and delivery. The device was successfully tested in several real-life scenarios (with different delivery service providers) and provided valuable insight into small parcel handling during the delivery process.
