SITMar project: An integrated platform for goods monitoring in multimodal transport

The SITMar project (Integrated System for Maritime Transport) is an applied research project in the maritime freight providing a set of innovative real-time services for maritime surveillance and goods monitoring. SITMar services are offered on an integrated platform. Specifically, in this paper the system architecture and services for monitoring and tracking of containerized goods during both terrestrial and maritime transport are described. Performance of this system was tested by means of a suitably implemented demonstrator.
