Real-time monitoring system for dangerous goods transportation based on Beidou navigation satellite system

Abstract

Dangerous goods logistics is a particular component in supply chain management as a special commodity logistics. Compared to common logistics supply, the logistics of dangerous goods need more comprehensive, accurate and reliable information management and control. In face of the current situation, the paper proposed a sort of technical solution named Real-time Monitoring System for Dangerous Goods Transportation Based on Beidou Navigation Satellite System(BDS). It included three modules to achieve the purpose of monitoring the position of the vehicles transporting dangerous goods. The three modules are the BDS positioning module, the wireless module with a controller and the information storing, processing and displaying module. The positioning module and the wireless module fixed on the transport vehicle can get and deliver the locating information to the information storing, processing, displaying module of the supervision center in real time. The system is expected to use information technology to create a secure dangerous goods logistic monitoring system and to help solving practical problems in dangerous goods regulatory at last.
