Description

The present invention relates to systems for remotely monitoring transportation assets and other movable and/or stationary items which have very low power requirements. In particular, the present invention relates to a system for attachment to shipping containers and other transportation assets which enables remote monitoring of the location, contents, properties and/or interior or exterior environment of shipping containers or other assets and transportation assets and since it has a low power requirement, lasts for years without needing maintenance.

The present invention also relates to a tracking method and system for tracking shipping containers and other transportation assets and enabling recording of the travels of the shipping container or transportation asset.

Many issues are now arising that render a low power remote asset monitoring system desirable. Some of these issues developed from the terrorist threat to the United States since Sep. 11, 2001, and the concern of anti-terrorist personnel with the relatively free and unmonitored transportation of massive amounts of material throughout the United States by trains, trucks, and ships. A system that permits monitoring of the contents of these shipping containers could substantially reduce this terrorist threat.

The FBI has recently stated that cargo crime is conservatively estimated at about $12 billion per year. It is the fastest growing crime problem in the United States.

A shipping container, comprising: a frame defining a cargo-receivable compartment; a location determining system arranged at least partly on said frame and that determines location of said frame; an environment sensing system arranged on said frame and that obtains information about activity outside of said frame; and a transducer assembly that operatively receives a signal causing a determination of the presence of at least one object within said compartment and transmits a signal regarding the determination of the presence of at least one object within said compartment based on location of said frame as determined by said location determining system and the information about activity outside of said frame obtained by said environment sensing system, the presence of the at least one object within said compartment being determined by receiving, at said transducer assembly, waves from the at least one object and converting received waves into the information about the presence of the at least one object.",
    "25. The container of claim 24, further comprising a memory component that receives and records information about the determined location of said frame and movement of said frame, and information about the presence of at least one object within said compartment in association with a unique identification of said frame.",
    "26. The container of claim 25, wherein said transducer assembly comprises a communications system arranged on said frame to enable communication of information to and from said memory component.",
    "27. The container of claim 24, wherein said transducer assembly comprises at least one sensor that determines whether an object is present within said compartment.",
    "28. The container of claim 27, wherein said at least one sensor comprises a light or infrared sensor."

  "description_excerpt": "The present invention relates to systems for remotely monitoring transportation assets and other movable and/or stationary items which have very low power requirements. In particular, the present invention relates to a system for attachment to shipping containers and other transportation assets which enables remote monitoring of the location, contents, properties and/or interior or exterior environment of shipping containers or other assets and transportation assets and since it has a low power requirement, lasts for years without needing maintenance.\n\nThe present invention also relates to a tracking method and system for tracking shipping containers and other transportation assets and enabling recording of the travels of the shipping container or transportation asset.\n\nMany issues are now arising that render a low power remote asset monitoring system desirable. Some of these issues developed from the terrorist threat to the United States since Sep. 11, 2001, and the concern of anti-terrorist personnel with the relatively free and unmonitored transportation of massive amounts of material throughout the United States by trains, trucks, and ships. A system that permits monitoring of the contents of these shipping containers could substantially reduce this terrorist threat.\n\nThe FBI has recently stated that cargo crime is conservatively estimated at about $12 billion per year. It is the fastest growing crime problem in the United States.",
