Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to lora-enabled freight tracking system with enhanced positioning and security features.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This innovative freight tracking system provides precise real-time monitoring and enhanced security measures for vehicles transporting products by utilizing cutting-edge wireless communication and Internet of Things technology. Through data transmission to a personalized server that can be accessed through a mobile application, the system allows users to remotely monitor their assets, increasing operational effectiveness and guaranteeing transportation security.
The goal of this innovation is to address the problem of safely and effectively tracking freight vehicles while they are in transit. Traditional tracking systems often suffer from issues including incomplete data, limited coverage, and hacker-friendly design, which leaves cargo vulnerable to theft, loss, or damage. Moreover, the extant solutions can be deficient in all-encompassing functions for remote management and real-time monitoring, which could hinder efficient supply chain and logistics operations.
US7916023B2: A system associates change in the state of an asset to an event trigger within a monitored environment. This environment includes a plurality of assets and a tag transmitter positioned on each asset and operative for transmitting a wireless RE signal based on an event trigger based on one of at least the change in state of an asset and change in location of the asset. A plurality of spaced apart access points receive an RF signal transmitted from a tag transmitter. A processor is operatively connected to the access points and collect possible candidates as assets associated with the event trigger and assigning a numerical score to each candidate to determine which asset is best associated with the event trigger.
RESEARCH GAP: A Lora enabled Freight Tracking System with IoT based Cloud technology with Mobile app integration is the novelty of the system.
US9965739B2: System, methods, and computer program products are provided for enhanced freight tracking and monitoring. The system may track the location of a freight shipment within a carrier's transportation network from the time it is picked up by a carrier from a consignor until it is delivered to a consignee, provide for weight determinations and shipping re-classifications of the freight shipment during transport, and provide real-time status information and reports to the carrier, consignor, and/or consignee.
RESEARCH GAP: A Lora enabled Freight Tracking System with IoT based Cloud technology with Mobile app integration is the novelty of the system.

Using cutting-edge IoT technology, this innovation transforms freight tracking to deliver rigorous security measures, accurate positioning, and real-time monitoring, all while ensuring the safety and integrity of important cargo along its voyage. It offers complete tracking capabilities for freight vehicles by means of a complex integration of wireless communication protocols and hardware components. The LFTST_EPSMote (Freight Tracking System with Enhanced Positioning Mote) and the LFTSR_EPSMote are the two main components of this system. The main tracking device is the LFTST_EPSMote, which is mounted inside the car and has a number of sensors and modules including an RTC module, an SD card module, an ATmega32 MCU Board, a LoRa module, a GPS module, an accelerometer made of metal, and a rechargeable battery. Using the GPS module, this device provides real-time location data that is improved for precision using the MEMS Accelerometer and digital quaternions, among other critical tasks for efficient freight tracking. It also has the ability to tamper with detecting techniques to guarantee device integrity and geofence, which sets off alarms in the event that a vehicle crosses predetermined bounds.
Data sent by the LFTST_EPSMote is collected by the LFTSR_EPSMote, which acts as the receiver unit on the receiving end. It is made up of parts including a GSM modem, LoRa module, STM32 board, display, buzzer, and rechargeable battery. The LoRa-based LPWAN network allows the LFTSR_EPSMote to wirelessly receive tracking data from the LFTST_EPSMote inside the car. It then sends this data to a specially designed server that users may access via a mobile application. In addition, it ensures that users are instantly notified of pertinent events or alarms by providing local feedback via its display and alerts via the buzzer. For device connection, the complete system makes use of LoRa RF network technology, which is perfect for Internet of Things applications due to its long range connectivity and low power consumption. Accurate vehicle placement is made possible by the integration of GPS modules, while security and surveillance are improved by features like geofencing and tamper detection. Through the deployment of a LoRa gateway, data transmission to an internet-connected database enables remote management and monitoring, giving users the ability to safely and effectively track their freight cars.
BEST METHOD OF WORKING
The LFTST_EPSMote is used for tracking freight vehicles. It uses LoRa technology to provide enhanced positioning accuracy, geofencing capabilities, and tampering detection for real-time monitoring and security in the transportation of goods.
