Shipping containers of dangerous goods condition monitoring system based on wireless sensor network

Abstract

Shipping container transport of dangerous goods accidents are caused mainly by changes in the container environment during transportation (such as temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.) or a mixture of goods caused by a chemical reaction and lead to combustion, explosion, toxic gas leaks and so on. Therefore, it has great significance of improving the security of maritime container transport of dangerous goods if the real-time state can be monitored during whole the transportation of dangerous goods. This paper presents a wireless sensor network based shipping containers of dangerous goods condition monitoring systems, and discusses the system's architecture and key technologies.
