DESIGN OF A HYBRID RFID/GPS-BASED TERMINAL SYSTEM IN VEHICULAR COMMUNICATIONS

Introduction:
All articles, goods, materials, merchandise, or wares carried onboard an aircraft, ship, train, or truck, and for which an air waybill, or bill of lading, or other receipt is issued by the carrier. It includes livestock, but usually does not include bunkers (fuel for powering the vessel or vehicle), accompanying baggage, vessel or vehicle's equipment and spare parts, mail, and stores. Personnel carried onboard are classified as crew or passengers. The lading or freight of a ship or other vessel; the

goods, merchandise, or whatever is conveyed in a vessel or boat; load; freight.

Existing System:
In the earlier method, the goods are loaded in the Truck or Container from the Transporting station. During the transportation, the logistics management center need not know whether the products are security and safety, whether the products are damaged or stolen, and what the real-time geographic position of the vehicle is. When the vehicle arrives at the destination, transport company shouldnt know how many and what kind of products should be unloaded. They thought that the goods are dispatched in the correct place and verify it with the bill. But it is not efficient way to avoid such an inconveniences. So we are in need of an effective system.

Proposed System:
In the proposed system, we have two sections. One is the vehicle section, which has RFID reader module, GSM Modem, GPS Module. Other is the Transport office section. First the system is in the Upload Mode. In this mode the transport office upload, what are the things they have loaded in the Truck and where they should be dispatched using keypad. We have already set the GPS value in the controller where they should be dispatched, which is selected through keypad. And the corresponding tag values are stored in the real time. And the conformation keys are pressed. Then the system is turned towards Dispatch Mode by another key.

In this mode the truck is keep on going. If it reaches one of the GPS location, where the goods are dispatched the system will monitor whether the correct tags are relieved from the Truck. If the wrong goods dispatched, the system will intimate to the transport office through GSM, about the wrong dispatch. It will also intimate, if the goods are not dispatched in the correct location. It alerts the Truck driver by alarming. By this we can avoid the wrong dispatch, stolen of the goods and provide security and safety for the goods.
