As a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a method for monitoring cold chain aging is provided, which includes the following steps:
step S101 of receiving first sensor information from a first sensor, wherein the first sensor information is indicative of at least one condition of an item associated with the first sensor;
first sensor information is received from a first sensor, wherein the first sensor information is indicative of at least one condition of an item associated with the first sensor, and the sensor can measure or detect at least one environmental factor such as a location, temperature, humidity, vibration, air pressure, etc. of a cold-chain courier item. The sensors in this embodiment may be devices for tracking the use of various items and may be connected to or included with the cold chain courier item to be tracked. The sensor may be mounted in a refrigerated box for express delivery to the customer. Information associated with tracking numbers for corresponding cold chain courier items may be stored. The item tracking number may be a logistics company tracking number.
The sensor may also provide an indication or response to nearby neighboring sensors. For example, when a cold-chain express item with a corresponding sensor is placed in a cold-chain truck or a cold-chain warehouse, the cold-chain express item can send or receive information to other sensors near the cold-chain truck or the cold-chain warehouse, and can also send or receive information to a monitoring center. The association between may be accomplished through wireless communication. The sensor can measure or detect environmental factors such as cold chain express delivery article position, temperature, humidity, vibration, atmospheric pressure. The sensor is of common knowledge as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, and there are alternative devices. One of ordinary skill in the art will also appreciate that detecting the frequency may be accomplished by modifying a software program.
A step S102 of receiving second sensor information from a first sensor, wherein the second sensor information is received by the first sensor from a second sensor located in proximity to the first sensor and is indicative of at least one condition sensor device of an item associated with the second sensor;
second sensor information is received from the first sensor, wherein the second sensor information is received by the first sensor from a second sensor located proximate to the first sensor and is indicative of at least one condition sensor device of an item associated with the second sensor.
Step S103, determining possible positions which may have adverse effects on the timeliness of the items associated with the second sensor along the transportation route from the stored sensor information based on the condition information associated with the possible positions;
in the carrying, unloading and transporting processes, manual assistance is needed, and manual operation has the problems of nonstandard action, high error rate, difficult management, many human errors and the like, and has adverse effect on transportation timeliness. Meanwhile, the dynamic adjustment of the routing function can be realized due to traffic jam and road closure caused by heavy fog, rain and snow weather in autumn and winter, particularly due to the change of the traffic condition plan. Thus, other information received in the condition plan may be used, such as tables of values, including but not limited to location, temperature, humidity, vibration, barometric pressure plan values. For example, a dynamic response to certain conditions, for example to the adverse effect of time-dependent behavior, so that in particular the functional range of the vehicle item information monitoring center system can be kept as large as possible depending on the conditions, without disadvantages for the vehicle information system user.

The stable state includes that the temperature and humidity of the container are kept unchanged in a specific state, and in order to keep the state, the container door cannot be opened under an unnecessary condition. In addition, the traffic conditions and road conditions faced by each cold chain transportation are different, and the goods transported by the common cold chain have storage time, which needs to reasonably plan the cold chain transportation route and control the transportation time. Cold chain transportation requires realization of whole-course temperature/humidity, vehicle door state, GPS positioning, transparent monitoring of cargo state, and the like.
The cold chain monitoring system comprises a vehicle machine, a sensor, terminals such as radio frequency RFID, WEB and APP, a cold chain monitoring terminal and a monitoring center cloud platform. The system comprises a vehicle machine, a sensor, a radio frequency RFID, a WEB, an APP and other terminals, wherein a function starting instruction is sent through a monitoring center cloud platform, and a monitoring result of the container sensor is obtained through the monitoring center cloud platform after the function is started. The cold chain monitor terminal measures the environmental parameter data of the transportation environment, the monitor center cloud platform is in communication connection with the cold chain monitor terminal, receives various parameter data uploaded by the cold chain monitor terminal, processes various data, carries out environmental parameter prediction according to the example curve corresponding to the type of the transportation environment and the received environmental parameter data, and sends the prediction result to the vehicle machine, WEB, APP and other terminals. The cloud platform also judges whether the predicted value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, and when the predicted value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the cloud platform sends a monitoring result to the vehicle machine, terminals such as WEB and APP, and starts an early warning mechanism.
Step S105, sending the updated shipping information and the determined configuration for updating and reconfiguring the second sensor.
The transportation environment information collected by the cold chain monitoring terminal in the cold chain monitoring system is interconnected with the whole vehicle communication network, so that the interconnection and the intercommunication with the whole vehicle communication network are realized, the application range is wide, and the temperature, the humidity and other parameters of the container can be regulated and controlled at any time.

The real-time vehicle condition information includes, but is not limited to, vehicle speed, fuel consumption, mileage, etc.
The vehicle machine receives an alarm instruction of the monitoring center through the vehicle-mounted cold chain monitoring terminal and sends alarm information. The car machine also obtains the transportation environment information through the sensor, and if the transportation environment information exceeds a threshold value, the sensor sends alarm information.
Step S203, combining the timeliness requirement of the cold chain express and comprehensively collecting transmission data, before writing data each time, whether the data stored in the early stage is necessary to be covered or not needs to be checked, and if necessary, the data stored in the current local storage in the earlier date needs to be covered.
