  1. Used for detecting attempts at cargo theft, damage, or sabotage Challenging environment for operation Both high and low ranges of temperature High amounts of dust, wind, and moisture Metal from containers and railcars Constant communication is required Alerts must happen fast enough for intervention Must alert operations center and local authorities Sensing hardware present on container “Seals” monitor state of container Alerts are sent out if there is a status change Communications and Sensing Equipment for Use in Transportation SecurityAdam Powell [adpowell@ittc.ku.edu], Victor Frost [frost@ittc.ku.edu], Gary Minden, Joseph Evans, Leon Searl Hardware Overview Infrastructure Overview Selected Equipment Equipment • Hi-G-Tek seals • Wire Seal for containers detects cut wire. • Magnetic Seal detects opened doors. • Dry Contact detects open/closed circuit change. • 3G Cellular data link is used for primary communications • Iridium satellite modem • Slow data rate – top end of 2400 baud • Used when cellular link is not available • Alternate solutions considered • Orbit One SX1 – One way satellite communication, event notification and integrated GPS • Transcore MT3000 – Two way satellite communication, supports multiple sensors, internal computing platform, integrated GPS, and event notification Orbit One and Transcore MT3000 Hi-G-Tek Equipment
