IoT BASED SMART LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING GPS AND GSM
IAEME PUBLICATION, 2020
Logistics management is an important aspect in real-time applications. Some of the aspects like a delay in delivery, identification of freight vehicles in real time, cargo overload, misplacement is some of the issues facing logistics management. The Global Positioning System monitors the position of the cargo according to its latitude and longitude positions. The GSM/GPRS module makes the administrator's location easier. The RFID system enables cargo to be tracked and placed correctly. The Open Source hardware makes the processing and orderly management of goods in the webserver easier. If more goods are placed in the cargo, the cargo may not move or reach due to overload in the cargo at a specified time. The use of a weight sensor eliminates the overload of goods in the cargo. This system is also used for security purposes as a regular update of the location on the web server, and cargo data are updated using open source hardware in real time. Integrating IoT, RFID, GPS, GSM/GPRS as well as open source hardware results in good results. This system also eliminates dynamic updates of cargo data and delays in delivery of goods, ensures the positioning of freight vehicles and eliminates overload of cargo.

The logistics is an important subset of supply chain management and plays a vital role for any organization. In this paper IoT based smart logistic system for various food grain and pharmaceutical industries is designed. The perishable goods like fresh food, floricultural, Pharmaceuticals and chemicals are considered as temperature sensitive sectors and required to be maintained in a specific temperature during the transportation. Therefore based on the nature of the goods, the cold chain required physical facilities to ensure the goods to be in a suitable temperature condition. To ensure security of the transported goods the containers are equipped with vibration sensors in order to detect any form of theft activities. By adapting this smart logistic system achieves live monitoring of goods from shipment to customer place at lower cost of investment. The sensor devices are connected through the internet and real time data transfer will provide an opportunity for the organization to react immediately if any changes required in the logistic process.
An intelligent model for logistics management based on geofencing algorithms and RFID technology
Expert Systems with Applications, 2015
The cargo transport represents the largest share of logistics costs in most companies. Consequently, companies are investing in tracking and tracing systems aiming to improve services, reduce costs and ensure the safety in cargo transportation. To play a part in this area, we propose in this article SafeTrack, a model for logistics management based on geofencing algorithms and radio-frequency technology. In this approach, the focus is on dealing with delivery management. The main scientific contribution of SafeTrack is automatic delivery management. Besides dealing with deliveries without user interaction, we provide a mechanism to detect inconsistencies at real-time. Furthermore, the model monitors detours in planned routes and deals with alarms notifications using mobile devices. To provide that features, we employed Geofence concept with two solutions that enable to detect, in real-time, the occurrence of detours in planned routes. We also created a component, named SafeDuino, to control loads delivery and pickups. The decision on the occurrence of inconsistencies during the logistics flow is performed through the fusion of context information, obtained from SafeDuino and a mobile device, using radio-frequency technology. We built a complete and functional prototype, which was evaluated in a controlled environment, testing several conditions. The test scenario was executed twenty times, showing that the proposed model is capable to identify all inconsistencies along the travels. We concluded that SafeTrack improves logistics operation, optimizing decision-making, avoiding losses during the logistics flow, and also allowing companies to remain competitive in the market.

INTRODUCTION
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is known as reliable technology used in real-time tracking of its accurate and fast
identification, RFID is applied extensively to improve the logistics management, supply chain operation and asset tracking. The
GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most promising technology to acquire the position information in outdoor environments.
Always GPS is chosen for tracking of vehicles, assets and staff over a wide geographic area. With simultaneous data received
from four satellites and ideal conditions and minimal ionosphere, users can calculate mainly an object's latitude, longitude, and
altitude.
Global system for mobile communication (GSM) is a globally accepted standard for digital cellular communication, which has
rapidly gained acceptance and market share worldwide. This technology is used to send and receive messages from vehicle and
centralized monitoring sections in logistics management. GSM technology is very commonly used in any part of the world and it
is economical to use. The powerful combination of information and intelligent technologies will advance the supply chain
monitoring and management capabilities from the origin to final destination. There have been some related works that are
focused on the integration of RFID, GPS, and GSM in certain fields.

Fig. 1: Overall System Fremework
To solve accurate consignment and realize real monitoring service in the transport management, the overall framework of the
digital logistic management can be proposed as fig.1.
The system operating procedures consist of three basic stages. Firstly, when the products leave the warehouse and are handed
over to transport company, the product identification data can be found by the RFID reader. Meanwhile, the product's departure
and arrival information can be automatically registered as well. The transporting information of goods is sent to transport
company momentarily the GPS module achieves the message (latitude, longitude, and altitude) of vehicle position; RFID reader
detects whether a product data is changed; temperature sensor displays the temperature. All the product information and the
combined GPS position information are sent in real time

The main devices are given below:
MAX232
The MAX232 is an IC, first created in 1987 by Maxim Integrated Products, that converts signals from an RS-232 serial port to
signals suitable for use in TTL compatible digital logic circuits. The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver and typically converts the
RX, TX, CTS and RTS signals.The drivers provide RS-232 voltage level outputs (approx. ± 7.5 V) from a single + 5 V supply
via on-chip charge pumps and external capacitors. This makes it useful for implementing RS-232 in devices that otherwise do
not need any voltages outside the 0 V to + 5 V range, as Power supply design does not need to be made more complicated just
for driving the RS-232 in this case.The receivers reduce RS-232 inputs (which may be as high as ± 25 V), to standard
5 V TTL levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, and a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V.
