Abstract: In the interconnected world, the transportation sector was crucial for linking people and businesses, thereby enhancing quality of life and living standards. Effective transportation also played a significant role in supply chain management, where ensuring the safety of transported goods was essential. This research paper presented an advanced IoT - based system designed to monitor and secure the transportation of goods. The system leveraged RFID tags to track the entry and exit of goods, with data being stored in a cloud - based database for real - time accessibility and analysis. To further enhance safety, the system incorporated gas and flame sensors that continuously monitored environmental conditions around the goods, detecting potential hazards. In the event of an emergency, the system utilized a GSM module to send immediate SMS alerts to users, while an integrated buzzer produced audible warnings to alert nearby individuals. This system combined the latest IoT technology with insights from previous research to improve both safety and efficiency in the transportation and supply chain sectors. By integrating these technologies, the system aimed to provide a comprehensive solution for safeguarding goods throughout their journey.
