This document discusses a proposed solution called Tracktor for monitoring environmental conditions in trucks transporting perishable, animal, and fragile goods. Tracktor would use sensors to monitor conditions, predict dangerous situations, and collect statistics to calculate risks and optimize insurance costs. It would use Azure services like Event Hub, Stream Analytics, Machine Learning, and Power BI. The performance and costs of implementing Tracktor for 100 trucks is estimated, with hardware kits costing $100 per truck and predictive analytics subscriptions ranging from $200-3200 per month depending on the service used. Further development is needed, including testing and collaborating with trucking companies. In conclusion, Tracktor could help solve problems for transporting sensitive goods at a reasonable price.

THE TRACKTOR

2. Problem
• Perishable products trucking – from
25K$
• Animal trucking – from 1000$
• Fragile goods trucking (f. e. art works,
dish) - from 300$ to ∞
Solution
• Monitoring for objective investigation of
accidence
• Prediction of undesirable dangerous
situations
• Collected statistic is used for
calculating risks for specific trucking
company and insurance payment
optimization

5. Production cost estimation, for 100 trucks (24 hours)
Services:
Without Azure Machine Learning 200$/month
With Azure Machine Learning 3200$/month
Own predictive engine (ASP.NET) 700$/month
Hardware:
Sensors Kit 50$/truck
Kit retail price estimation(assume profitability 100%), per 1 truck
Hardware kit 100$
Subscription with predictive engine 15$/month
Subscription, only monitoring 5$/month

7. DEVELOPMENT
essential: metrologic superfluity (now time-
superfluity is implemented, structure +
functional will be implemented) GOST R
8.734-2011
need testbed & trucking companies
collaboration (we are unable to establish
contacts with them in just 4 days)

8. This project will solve the problems of perishable/fragile
trucking goods (or at least will make the problem
easier) for reasonable price
