Claim 27:
28. The improved auto-chocking enabled cargo dolly of claim 1 further comprising:
a transceiver-based controller module disposed on the dolly frame;
location circuitry disposed on the dolly frame and operatively coupled to the transceiver-based controller module, the location circuitry generating location data on a current location of the dolly frame and providing the location data to the transceiver-based controller module;
wherein the hub-based chocking system further comprises a chocking sensor that monitors engagement of the braking hub extension to hold the braking hub extension in place as a chocking status of the hub-based chocking system, the chocking sensor being coupled to the transceiver-based controller module to provide chock status sensor data indicating when the hub-based chocking system has engaged the braking hub extension to hold the braking hub extension in place; and
wherein the transceiver-based controller module being further operative to transmit a dolly asset tracking message to a hub manager server when the chock status sensor data indicates the hub-based chocking system has engaged the braking hub extension to hold the braking hub extension in place, wherein the dolly asset tracking message including the current location of the dolly frame based upon the location data, chock status information for the dolly frame based upon the chock status sensor data, and a reference identification for the dolly frame.
