> Intelligent Container Interoperability

To be able to evaluate interoperability between transportation systems and public safety agencies, NI2-CIE first needed to understand how the transportation industry and public safety organizations perceived actual future use of intelligent container technology:

  • Who would own it?
  • How it would be maintained?
  • How data would be reported?
  • Did intelligent container data require analysis and verification?
  • What about the possibility of false alarms?
  • Do pubic safety organizations want to have direct access to intelligent container raw data?
  • Who should pay for associated costs for maintenance and for operations?

    • To answer the above questions, NI2-CIE crafted a two-part survey. The individuals surveyed included Canadian and American representatives from the container shipping industry, transport operators, seaport operators where containers are routinely handled, law enforcement specialists, and fire departments.
