Utilizing GPS Data Tracking Design for Stopped Truck Analysis in an Industrial Loading Process

Abstract

Economic growth has become essential for improving people’s livelihoods, particularly as more enterprises are established. This expansion has increased the demand for transportation, where timely delivery of goods is crucial for the success of growing businesses.  Consequently, vehicles have become a vital component of the logistics chain, transporting items from one location to another. However, traffic delays often hinder timely deliveries, and administrators struggle to locate trucks during unexpected stops. Additionally, some truck drivers waste time, causing unnecessary  delivery delays and increasing operating costs. This study proposes a solution that integrates an RFID sensor module to address traffic congestion issues at loading bays and a GPS module with TTGO TCALL ESP 32 to track the whereabouts of trucks. This approach aims to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and streamline the logistics process.
