This document details the development of an intelligent transport truck as part of Project SLOPE. Technologies like RFID, GPS, and GPRS will be added to trucks to identify harvested trees and transmit location data. Partners will develop a control unit over months 12-24 to interface sensors with a database. A communication scheme will be tested and the system installed in pilot trucks to evaluate performance.
