Abstract: The present invention is directed to a transportation security system for monitoring at least one freight shipping container being transported by at least one cargo transport vehicle. The system includes a container locking seal configured to be removably coupled to the at least one freight shipping container to thereby seal the at least one freight shipping container when in a coupled position. The container locking seal includes at least one anti-tamper sensor and a seal communications device. A state recorder is disposed in the at least one cargo transport vehicle. The state recorder includes a recorder communications system being configured to communicate with the seal communications device. The state recorder also includes a data storage module configured to store sensor data.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and regulating the transportation of hazardous material. The system and method provides an integrated knowledge management system specifically configured for the tracking, monitoring and management of hazardous materials while in transit and permits real-time tracking using GPS (Global Positioning System) and GIS (Geographic Information System) technology that provides automatic alarms on the occurrence of conditions of concern such as deviation from planned route, proximity to sensitive sites (government facilities, power generating plants, bridges, military bases, airports, skyscrapers, shopping malls, sports arenas, etc.), unanticipated delays, driver alarm, discrepancies between registered and observed condition at weigh stations, convergence of multiple hazardous material shipments, and other potentially dangerous incidents or conditions.
