AN INTEGRATED TRACKING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An exemplary integrated tracking system tracks transported objects in a transportation system. The integrated tracking system includes a tracking device for providing at least location information of the at least one transported object. At least one processor unit generates and stores a predetermined model of transportation information of the at least one object. The predetermined model includes at least change-over location area information as the transportation information of the at least one transported object. The integrated tracking system includes at least two tracking sub-systems having the tracking device at least when the tracking device arrives in a change-over location area. The at least one processor unit integrates utilization of the at least location information from at least two tracking sub-systems by comparing at least location information from different tracking sub-systems to the predetermined model.
