| Abstract |
Security systems for inland cargo truck transportation are mostly limited to route tracking for safe and efficient transportation. With this route tracking system, the status of cargo trucks can be monitored easily within inland boundaries. In case of oil transportation by land, however, security systems ensuring transportation of a designated quantity of products have been subject to extensive research since thefts and substitution by a similar product in the transportation process have emerged as a social problem. Security devices installed in an oil tank truck must meet the explosion-proof performance standards and be applicable to varying types of trucks. Accordingly, a wireless electronic seal with RF communication functions is considered to be the most appropriate method, but e-seals on moving vehicles require such levels of performance and reliability that can overcome certain challenges including changing radio waves and topographical impediments. Considering these characteristics of oil tank trucks, this study proposes an stabilization method to enhance the RF communication performance of e-seals, based on radio simulation and experiment findings. |
