Abstract
After the 9/11 events, stakeholders around the world have become concerned and looked for solutions to address the safety of the global transportation infrastructure. The Mobile Assets Management System (MAMS) presented in this paper focuses on improving transportation safety related aspects such as vehicle safety, cargo safety, passenger safety and driver safety. MAMS is a mobile asset management solution dedicated to locating and monitoring commercial fleets, offering fleet managers and dispatchers complete monitoring and control capabilities from an Internet-connected computer located anywhere in the world. The system is built on a cloud based secure, intelligent, interlinked and interactive infrastructure, namely the S4I I™ platform developed by SafeMobile. The implementation of the MAMS application is a reliable proof of the flexibility and the scalability of the S4I platform, truly creating a unique cloud-based integration system for wireless radio communication. We present the context and the benefits of the mobile asset management solution, the architecture and the main components of the system and we underline the advantages it provides to the global transportation infrastructure in terms of safety and security, which is a major concern nowadays.
