Real-Time Tracking and Environmental Monitoring System for Ice Trucks using IoT Techniques

The problems faced by ice transporting entrepreneurs are the behavior of truck drivers in driving off the specified route and unnecessarily opening the freezing container door. Consequently, the dropping temperature inside the container of the ice truck damaged the frozen food transportation. For this reason, rotten frozen food because of transportation ruins the customer’s trust. This research aims to present the design of location tracking, opening-closing container door counting system, and temperature monitoring system for ice trucks using Internet of Things (IoT) techniques. The real-time information is visualized via a web application for tracking and monitoring ice trucks.
