Using mobile networks for effective cold chain management

Van Eyk, Bernardus P.; Hoffman, Alwyn J. (SATNAC, 2014)

Research has shown that substantial in transit losses in perishable cargo are sustained due to malpractices in cold chain logistics. Such losses are even more prevalent in developing countries where supply chain systems ...

SmartRoad: a new approach to law enforcement in dense traffic environments

Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Pretorius, Albertus J. (IEEE, 2015)

Road transport law enforcement is facing new challenges against the background of increasingly congested traffic conditions. An ideal law enforcement system must enable authorities to detect, identify and act against illegal ...

Geometry based analysis of an alternative RFID interrogator placement for electronic vehicle identification

Pretorius, A.J.; Hoffman, A.J.; Wang, Y. (IEEE, 2015)

This paper proposes a solution for reliable in-traffic electronic vehicle detection based on UHF passive RFID (ISO/IEC 18000-63 - UHF Type C). The classic overhead placement of an interrogator reading a windscreen or plate ...

A combined GPS/RFID system for improved cross-border management of freight consignments

Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Lusanga, Kabanda; Bhero, Ernest (IEEE, 2013)

Inefficiency of road freight transport is one of the primary factors that hamper the economy of sub-Saharan Africa. Long delays experienced at border posts are the single biggest contributor towards the slow average movement ...

Applying RFID technology to improve efficiency in border-post cargo clearance process

Bhero, Ernest; Hoffman, Alwyn (IEEE, 2013)

Stakeholders in cross-border logistics and trade corridors have always been concerned about ways of improving operational efficiency. Cargo owners and cargo forwarders have been particularly concerned with long delays in ...
