Monitoring Dangerous Goods in Container Yard Using the Internet of Things

الملخص EN

The Internet of Things (IoT), a network of objects, has been regarded as the next revolution for the global information industry after the Internet.

With IoT, many intelligent applications can be accomplished or improved.

This paper presents a framework for dangerous goods management in container yard using IoT technology.

The framework consists of three layers: perceptual layer, transport layer, and application layer.

It offers an infrastructure for management and data analysis and utilization.

According to the features of dangerous goods, the framework can be enhanced for container information forecast, container gate-in and gate-out management, environment parameters monitoring, and fire control as well.

In order to verify our method, a prototype system is developed, which shows good performance.

With our method, safe operation of dangerous goods in container yard can be accomplished.
