This chapter is about developing a centralized, internet based security tool which utilizes RFID and GPS technology to identify drivers and track the load integrity. The system will accomplish the security testing in real-time using the internet and the U.S. Customs' database (ACE). A central database and the interfaces and communication between the database and ACE will be established. After the vehicle is loaded, all openings of the tanker are sealed with disposable RFID tag seals. Then a RFID reader and GPS tracker wirelessly connected with the databases will serve as testing grounds for the implementation of security measures that can help prevent future terrorist attacks and help in ensuring that the goods and products are not compromised while in transit. The system will reduce the labor work of security check to its minimum. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
