SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING LOGISTICAL LOCATIONS AND TRANSIT ENTITIES USING A CANONICAL MODEL

摘要

A system and method utilizing a canonical model for monitoring fixed entities, transit entities, and/or moveable objects includes a circuit having one or more data collectors and a configuration database in communication with the circuit. The configuration database has a plurality of location asset designators (“LADs”) and modal asset designators (“MADs”) and/or sensor asset designators (“SADs”). The LADs each have a data structure that includes a type of fixed entities and a location of the fixed entities. The MADs each have a data structure that includes a transportation type for each of the transit entities. The SADs have a data structure that includes a sensor identity of a sensor associated with at least one of the moveable objects and a sensor location of the sensor. The circuit is configured to periodically receive information from the transit entities and update the MADs, SADs, and/or LADs of the canonical model.
