A scalable communication middleware for real-time data collection of dangerous goods vehicle activities
We introduce an ITS application for dangerous goods transportation by road. The real-time monitoring allows an efficient and safe shipment of dangerous goods. The use of Web Services in data transmission by GPRS connection keeps costs high. Direct TCP transmission keeps performance high, but latency and costs low. We prove the reliability of the Data Collection Middleware with scalability tests.
