The working principle of container tracking typically involves a combination of GPS (Global Positioning System), satellite, and cellular technology to determine the location and movement of a container. The system works as follows:
Location determination: The GPS device uses satellite signals to determine its precise location, including latitude, longitude, and altitude. This information is then transmitted to the tracking system.
User access: The container tracking information is made available to users through a web-based platform or mobile app, allowing them to track the container’s location, movement, and other relevant information.
Alerts and notifications: The tracking system can also generate alerts and notifications if the container deviates from its expected route, enters or leaves a specific area, or reaches a predetermined location.
