MOBILE APPLICATION WITH ENHANCED USER INTERFACE FOR EFFICIENTLY MANAGING AND ASSURING THE SAFETY, QUALITY AND SECURITY OF GOODS STORED WITHIN A TRUCK, TRACTOR OR TRAILER AND ASSESSING USER COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS AND QUALITY OF PERFORMANCE

摘要

A system and method for ensuring the safety of goods transported via highway, particularly humanly consumable goods, is taught by the present invention. Three main aspects include a smart phone hub, a portable sensor for monitoring the transported goods and a physical locking mechanism to lock the trailer. According to the present invention, a truck driver uses a smart phone to interface between a trailer payload supervisor and the payload itself, to insure the safety of the transported goods. Upon loading a trailer, a truck driver uses a smartphone to activate an internal sensor and snap an image of the locked trailer (with an electronic padlock and a license plate, for example). According to the present invention, an enhanced user profile includes information or ratings based on past driver performance and a loyalty program to reward driver's effective and safe (perishable cargo safety) usage of the invention.
