냉동컨테이너 모니터링 시스템을 위한 모바일 서비스 구현

Abstract

Recently there have been many researches for developing reefer container monitoring systems to improve the efficiency of maritime transport and to reduce the risk of personal injury. IMO(International Maritime Organization) recommended to use the reefer container monitoring system with PCT(Power Cable Transmission) modem complying with ISO10368 standard, but it is not being widely used due to its several weaknesses such as data loss of PCT modem, no installation of PCT modem in more than 45% of reefer containers being used currently and so on. Therefore monitoring reefer containers still rely on human inspection. In this thesis we present a new reefer container monitoring system using interrogator port fitted to every reefer container and its mobile service. In this system a smart communication module is used to gather information including temperature and alarm data from reefer container and to transmit it to server via TCP/IP. With mobile service transport companies and container terminal management companies can get very useful information for their reefer containers easily and everywhere in real time.
