Bus Video Cloud Monitoring and Management System

1.1 System Overview

Long-distance freight vehicles are prone to incidents such as cargo loss or damage en route and irregular operations by drivers. Although GPS positioning systems have been installed in many vehicles to support vehicle navigation and dispatching, they cannot record the entire transportation process with videos. Hence, it is impossible to identify the real causes when cargo is lost or damaged or when safety accidents occur.

In addition, clients of logistics companies are highly concerned about the status of shipped goods, including the real-time location, delivery timeliness and estimated arrival time. Currently, they can only obtain general information via phone or online inquiries. Logistics staff are also overwhelmed by repeated enquiries from clients about cargo movement and product conditions. When cargo gets damaged or lost during transit, disputes over compensation frequently arise among logistics companies, clients and insurance providers, as there is no valid evidence to clarify liability.

The installation of vehicle-mounted monitoring systems on freight vehicles can effectively address the above challenges faced by logistics enterprises. Compared with the widely used GPS systems, vehicle-mounted monitoring systems can not only track and record vehicle locations, but also monitor and record the whole process of cargo transportation, loading and unloading. This helps prevent cargo loss and provides valid evidence for liability determination in cases of cargo damage. Supported by GPRS/CDMA/EDGE wireless monitoring technology, managers and clients can check the real-time location and transportation status of goods via computers or mobile phones. This enables logistics companies to deliver better services and enhance their overall competitiveness.
