Abstract :
Recently the industrial waste transportation and collection industry has been facing a need to develop a system that deters from illegal dumping. Also, the transportation industry requires a system that can be used to prevent delivery to incorrect destinations, and record freight loading/unloading information. To satisfy these requirements, we have developed a freight status management system that requires drivers to record freight loading/unloading information at specified locations and that controls access to the freight status information. We have also conducted experiments to identify appropriate parameters for the system.
