1. A method of generating an alert for an asset, comprising:
- determining whether a reported position of an asset transporter assigned to an asset is in proximity to a reported position of said asset, said reported position of said asset being initiated by a detection of motion of said asset; and
generating an alert if it is determined that said reported position of said truck is not in proximity to said reported position of said trailer.

Abstract
A system and method for generating an alert signal for an asset. Proper truck/trailer matching is based on a proximity analysis between position reports for a truck and position reports for a trailer. In one embodiment, this proximity analysis is triggered by a detection of movement in a trailer. In the proximity analysis, unexpected deviations in proximity between a truck and a trailer would lead to a generation of an alert signal that is sent to the appropriate management system for investigation.

16. A system for generating an alert for an asset being transported, comprising:
a proximity analysis system that determines whether a reported position of an asset transporter in response to a poll is in proximity to a reported position of an asset, said reported position of said asset being determined upon a detection of movement of said asset, wherein if said reported position of said asset transporter is determined not to be in proximity to said reported position of said asset, said proximity analysis system generates an alert. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
