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

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.

9. A method of generating an alert for an asset, comprising:
-
receiving, in a monitoring system, a position report from an asset upon an indication that said asset has moved; determining whether a position of an asset transporter assigned to said asset as reported to said monitoring system is in proximity to a position of said asset, said position of said asset transporter being reported to said monitoring system in response to a poll that is generated by said monitoring system subsequent to said indication that said asset has moved; and generating an alert if said determination indicates that said asset transporter is not in proximity to said asset. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
