Challenges Faced
1. Truck Hijacking and Illegal Unloading of Products: Ensuring the security of goods in transit.
2. Manual Document Processing: Often time-consuming and prone to errors.
3. Uncareful Driving: Risking the safety of both cargo and drivers.
Innovative Solution
A company based in Cote D'Ivoire developed a comprehensive solution to address these challenges. This solution automates paperwork, ensures the safety of transported goods, and complies with national and international regulations.
E-Locks: Enhancing Transportation Safety
To secure the goods inside the trucks, vehicles were equipped with the e-lock JT709A. These electronic locks provide an additional layer of security by restricting unauthorized access and preventing theft or illegal unloading of cargo. The use of e-locks has made truck access recordable, offering a high-tech solution designed to enhance transportation safety.
Key Features and Benefits of E-Lock
• Unauthorized Access Prevention: The e-locks ensure that only authorized personnel can access the cargo, thereby preventing theft and illegal unloading.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous tracking and monitoring of the lock status provide real-time updates on the security of the cargo.
• Tamper Alerts: Instant notifications in case of any tampering attempts, ensuring immediate response to potential security breaches.
Additional Security Measures
Alongside the e-lock JT709A, the solution includes the following security measures to ensure comprehensive protection and monitoring:
• Authorized Route Monitoring: All roads authorized for goods transportation have been imported into the Wialon system. Deviations from the authorized route or geofence, or long suspicious stops, trigger notifications to the dispatcher and are forwarded to the authority.
• Checkpoint Notifications: Additional notifications are generated when a truck crosses a checkpoint or violates rules, such as prolonged port stays or frequent stops.
• User Accounts in the Monitoring System: All parties involved have access to the required data, ensuring transparency and coordination.
• Open API for Fast Registration: Facilitates the fast and bulk registration of trucks in the system, reducing visibility delays from 48-72 hours to near real-time.
• Eco Driving Module: Helps control driving behavior, ensuring safe and responsible driving practices.
Benefits for the Cote D'Ivoire Chamber of Commerce and Industry
The Chamber can now effortlessly monitor trucks with goods and ensure their safety during transportation. The solution provides control over more than a thousand units, offers a smart system of notifications, connects with third-party systems such as the customs platform, and ensures compliance with an extensive list of national and international requirements.
Comprehensive Security and Efficiency
• Protection Against Theft: Thanks to e-locks and alert notifications, trucks are safer from cargo theft and hijacking.
• Automation of Processes: Document processing has been automated, significantly reducing the time required for truck registration.
• Driving Behavior Under Control: EcoDriving helps monitor driver behavior, with notifications for harsh driving, allowing for timely interventions to secure the transported goods.
• Compliance: Ensures adherence to speed limits, safety rules, tracking visibility, and route completion, providing comprehensive control over goods transportation.
The Cote D'Ivoire Chamber of Commerce and Industry now benefits from a robust, integrated system that offers precise control over more than a thousand units. This solution not only elevates the security and efficiency of cargo transportation but also aligns with a broad spectrum of regulatory requirements, fostering a safer and more reliable transport network across Western Africa.
