<p>This thesis is about the design of a Telematics for Totally Transparent Transports System </p><p>(T4 System). T4 System combines Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology with </p><p>ordinary fleet management systems to monitor and track cargo on a global scale. This </p><p>means that the cargo itself and not the vehicle transporting the cargo will be observed. </p><p>This has the advantage that a change in the transportation method can be made without </p><p>interrupting the tracking device. T4 System is not only a simple tracking device which only </p><p>monitors the transportation conditions; it also interacts with the chain of transportation </p><p>in case of a faulty situation, to provide the possibility to correct the error. </p><p>To keep the transportation process as transparent as possible T4 System uses a two way </p><p>communication and control strategy which allows, e.g. the customer, to check and/or </p><p>update the transport conditions or measurement parameters, respectively, in run-time, </p><p>when the situation demands it.</p>
