Overview

In the United States there is an emerging trend to ship goods by rail directly from ports to inland intermodal traffic terminals. However, for this trend to succeed shippers must have “visibility” into rail shipments.

The main object of this project is to provide visibility into shipments through optimal placement of sensor and communication technology.

This model can be used to determine cost effectivenss.

Abstract

Security of the system has traditionally focused on reducing shrinkage the loss of cargo shipments through theft and misrouting and has brought increased attention to the risks containerized shipping presents. Cargo monitoring system (CMS) is a set of hardware and software

that allows control/monitor containers from the point of departure to final destination Goods safety.

 Illegal and smuggled goods control.  Information about cargo traffic and standing. Real -time monitoring of hazardous and high value goods.

Monitor cargo transit via GPS tracking system. To ensure proper and timely response to the intrusive cargo openings, containers are equipped with the mobile GPS device and GSM modem. Additionally door opening sensor is mounted inside the container.

Introduction

The ECTS is being implemented using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and GPS/GPRS technology

All trucks/vehicles, tankers and containers carrying goods on transit, exports & under control are fitted with a tracking device and electronic seal which sends the seal status, truck location and any violation information on real time basis

In addition to ongoing monitoring of the locks and the vehicles, supervisors will use handheld devices to receive/send all information regarding the freights/containers on-line. The Cargo Tracking & Protection System presents all freights, containers and vehicle’s information on a Google Earth, using the GPS location of each component via the GSM network.

A present technology of locking and monitoring the Cargos does not provide effective solutions for the situation these Cargos contains material of high value and in high quantity , therefore these containers are more prone to the pilferage and to protect the material we need a sound technique which minimizes the loss due to involvement of the corrupt employees.

Problem Statement

This lock continuously monitors the global positioning coordinates of the container and sends the data to the base station if requested

During the course of the journey the electronic lock cannot be open as it requires a series of security check before opening

At the destination the driver has to press a button to acknowledge the completion of journey. When the switch is pressed the lock sends the current GPS coordinates to the base station. At the base station the received coordinates are compared with the database to confirm whether the container has reached the right destination or not. If confirmed correctly it will send the password and ID number of the driver to the lock and the password to the driver via GSM.

Working

Then the driver has to prove his identity to the lock by producing a RFID card. After verifying the correct ID number the lock will ask for password and after verifying the correct password it will open the electromagnetic lock. Any activity of pilferage in between the journey can be tracked by sending the GPS coordinates and activation of alarm immediately.

Continued..

The whole routing of the journey of the container can be traced by viewing GPS coordinates on the PC at base station using GOOGLE EARTH.

We can extend this project by installing RFID readers to the container which will count and log the quantity of material coming inside or going inside of the container at any particular time.

Title of the Project report was “Tacking and checking cargo containers pilferage using electronic lock”.

It was a project done by Sandeep Singh R, Feroz Morab, Sadiya Thazeen, Mohamed Najmus Saqhib, [M.Tech] SJCIT, Chikkaballapur, Karnataka.

They have proposed a sound mechanism to prevent pilferage in the cargo containers by implying an electronic lock and having series of basic security check like swapping the RFID card provided to the customer, biometric sensor and by entering the password which is sent at the time of delivery to the customer, thereby minimizing the human interference with regard to the security of the cargo containers .

The SMS Based Vehicle Tracking System has been implemented using GPS module and GSM / GPRS module SIM300.

LITERATURE SURVEY

Once the vehicle reaches the destination, a message is sent to Monitoring system. If the coordinates match then a password is sent to the person who is collecting the consignment. Once the password is reached, LCD displays “Swipe The RFID Card And Enter Password”. Upon the card swiping and password entering, if these two parameters are accurate only then the door opens, otherwise the monitoring system gets a Tampering message. The user gets only 3 attempts to enter the correct password

The complete project was implemented using software KIEL UV4 for Programming, debugging and compiling. Once this program is compiled and target is generated, flash the program into the IC using software FLASH MAGIC. KICAD is used for schematic and PCB designing of the complete project and VB6.0 software is used for Front-end design for monitoring system.

Hardware they used were basically GPS, RFID, Electromagnetic Lock, Microcontroller 89S52.

Block Diagram

LCD DISPLAY (16 X 2)-The 16 x 2 intelligent alphanumeric dot matrix Display is capable of displaying 224 different characters and symbols.

GPS (Global Positioning System)-The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The system provides critical capabilities to military, civil and commercial users around the world.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) -GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a standard developed to describe protocols for second generation (2G) digital cellular networks used by mobile phones.

DETAILS OF BLOCK DIAGRAM

The GSM standard was developed as a replacement for first generation (1G) analog cellular networks, and originally described a digital, circuit-switched network optimized for full duplex voice telephony. This also includes data communications, first by circuit-switched transport, then packet data transport via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution or EGPRS). The 3G developed third generation (3G) UMTS standards followed by fourth generation (4G) LTE advanced standards.

RFID( Radio-frequency identification Reader)-Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects

Electromagnetic Locking Mechanism- An electromagnetic lock, magnetic lock, or maglock is a locking device that consists of an electromagnet and an armature plate. There are two main types of electric locking devices. Locking devices can be either "fail safe" or "fail secure".

Buzzer- A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke. A piezoelectric element may be driven by an oscillating electronic circuit or other audio signal source, driven with a piezoelectric audio amplifier. Sounds commonly used to indicate that a button has been pressed are a click, a ring or a beep.

PIC 18 Microcontroller- The PIC18 microcontroller family provides PICmicro devices in 18- to 80-pin packages. Most PIC18 devices will provide FLASH program memory in sizes from 8 to 128 Kbytes and data RAM from 256 to 4 Kbytes; operating from 2.0 to 5.5volts, at speeds from DC to 40 MHz Optimized for high-level languages like ANSI C, the PIC18 family offers a highly flexible solution for complex embedded applications.
