Overview

Background & policy context:

The ASAP research aimed to develop a new concept for asset surveillance and protection in Europe. There was a need to develop and evaluate a designated wireless info-mobility system including end-unit devices sensors, system infrastructure and interconnected databases that could become a European standard.

Objectives:

The objective was to provide companies using such a system with: 

  • Additional information concerning the supply chain 
  • Reduction of fines because the company can prove it did not cause the damage, reduction of insurance costs 
  • Reduction loss cost due to less assets lost

Methodology:

  • Identification of users' requirements 
  • ASAP's system specifications 
  • Development of communications 
  • Distributed data network 
  • Interfaces with ITS 
  • Design and test of a prototype
