Review of Location Based Delivery Management System

Abstract

An efficient location based delivery management system is occupied with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD). The current locations and status of the vehicle can be determined through this system by the client using Google Earth. Through the GPS devices the users can track the position of targeted vehicles and USSD services allow the users to get many services over smart or feature phones. Impossibility of tracking the starting-ending time and the locations of the truck within a planned time frame and monitoring large scale distribution channels are the current issues in the present system. The proposed work is an attempt to monitor the trucks with GPS devices which provide data of the geographical location and time. Users will be able to see the route of the truck when data is loaded on to the google map service. Here, each vehicle record can be uniquely identified and monitored on different time frame. Simultaneously; monitoring, tracking and acquiring various delivery information related to management can be efficiently done with the web app. The new system, helps in decision making, data acquisition, report generating and provides hierarchy of access levels with different authentication. Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) technology provide pre-defined services such as current location of the truck, time duration, product details etc. The proposed delivery management system can be implemented successfully with GPS and USSD technology in order to fulfil the user requirements.
