Tracking System for Heavy Transport with Sensors and IOT

The purpose of this project is to create a system that could assist land reclamation business owners to monitor their trucks during operations, by implementing IoT system to maintain and improve their business structure. Thus, this device will help to track the vehicle and alert suspicious acts for the owner. In the traditional way of monitoring their vehicle visually or by mobile communication, this creates an opportunity for lorries driver of the vehicles to conduct an unlawful act of selling company’s fuel or delivering unscheduled payloads without company’s knowledge. The system will help to reduce the possibilities of conducting such acts and reduce the workload from the company in process of monitoring vehicle. Furthermore, this apparatus reduces operating time for monitoring fuel for heavy transport and will comfort the users for both business owners and workers. By this method, we implement the fusion of inductive proximity sensor (Model LJ12A3-4-Z/BY PNP) with IOT system to analyze the data with GPS information. The results from the tracking are averagely within 5 meters error, which is sufficient for the business owners.
