SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND MONITORING NONCOMPLIANT INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION OF MATERIALS

摘要

A method and system (12) for detecting and monitoring noncompliant interstat e transportation of materials is disclosed. The method and system (12) include providing a detection and monitoring network (8) whereby multiple ports-of- entry (10) are each equipped with a detection system that is in communicatio n with a central computer (22). The detection systems are then used to detect levels of a material in vehicles passing through the ports-of-entry. The method and system (12) further including associating the levels of material detected for each vehicle with the respective vehicle, and saving the vehicl e material levels on a computer (16). The material levels detected at each por t- of-entry are then uploaded to the central computer (22) for monitoring and review.
