Abstract

In IoT-based supply chain transportation, low rates for data loss, minimizing time to destination, and optimizing energy consumption are paramount. These factors can be influenced by variable parameters, data volume, logging procedures, positioning complexities, and communication hiccups during transit. This study introduces an adaptive data logging algorithm for a cost-effective IoT node, addressing these challenges. This innovation enables real-time data acquisition and remote display via a web interface. Experimental tests demonstrate the prototype's reliability in both controlled indoor and dynamic outdoor environments, particularly in environmental and GPS data collection. Results reveal 5.24% data loss indoors and 23.24% via the web interface. Outdoors, data loss peaks at 55.34%, increasing to 82.76% with the web interface. However, the obtained information is adequate for prototype validation. The algorithm reduces data by 74%, leading to lower data processing and power transmission needs. Moreover, determining the distance from GPS coordinates is essential for predicting travel times and monitoring vehicle velocity to maximize efficiency. The results from this prototype are expected to enhance the development of advanced models, thus enriching future scientific research initiatives that aim to incorporate IoT technology into transportation systems.
