Abstract

A transportation monitoring method is provided for monitoring the transportation process of a vehicle from shipment place to a destination. The method comprising: receiving a shipment information from the shipment place when the vehicle leaves the shipment place; receiving arrival information from the destination when the vehicle arrives to the destination; determining whether the arrival information of the vehicle is received at least one predetermined time; generating a notice to associated administrators of the at least one predetermined time if the arrival information of the vehicle is not received.

Claims

1. A transportation monitoring device for monitoring a transportation process of a vehicle from a shipment place to a destination process, comprising:

a data storage for storing a warning table to each vehicle for recording the relationship between the predetermined times and the administrators of the vehicle of the predetermined times;

a shipment information receiving module for receiving a shipment information from the shipment place when the vehicle leaves the shipment place;

a table updating module for obtaining corresponding warning table of the vehicle and updates the predetermined times recorded in the warning table according to the received shipment information;

an arrival information receiving module for receiving arrival information from the destination when the vehicle arrives to the destination;

an arrival determination module for determining whether the arrival information receiving module receives the arrival information of the vehicle at the at least one predetermined time;

an alarm module for generating a notice to associated administrators of the at least one predetermined time if the arrival information receiving module does not receive the arrival information of the vehicle.

2. The transportation monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein the shipment information comprises a vehicle ID, a leaving time when the vehicle leaves the shipment place, and a due time, the due time is the time when the vehicle is appointed to arrive at the destination.

3. The transportation monitoring device as described in claim 2, wherein the due time is the time when the vehicle is appointed to arrive at the destination, a number of predetermined times are set during a transportation process of a vehicle, the first predetermined time is the due time of the vehicle, and other predetermined times are set based on the first predetermined time, the first predetermined time is the due time of vehicle and the other predetermined times is predetermined according to the due time.

4. The transportation monitoring device as described in claim 1, wherein a warning table is store in the data storage for recording the relationship between the predetermined times and the administrators of the vehicle in the predetermined times.
