[0055] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0056] In this detailed explanation, preferred embodiments of the invention are explained only to provide a further understanding of the subject matter of the invention without causing any limiting effect.

[0057] Invention: It is related to the system of the trailers manufactured according to the load they will carry that enables to follow up the notifications on the website designed against possibility of theft or damage to the load by unauthorized persons, and to make fleet and driver analysis possible by meta-analysis.

[0058] The features and functions of the invented system are as follows;

[0059] The main control unit (1) is a unit which communicates with the detector (2) mounted inside the trailer and warns or informs the driver and responsible persons.

[0060] The detector (2) is a unit mounted in the trailer, which detects the movement and communicates with the main control unit (1). The system is equipped at least one detector. The battery charge rate unit (3) is the signal line that transmits the information about the charge level of the internal batteries in the main control unit (1) and detectors (2).

[0061] The last signal date and time unit (4) transmits the information about the last signal date and time detected by the detectors (2).

[0062] Data log unit (5) transmits the information all information and data about past on the website.

[0063] The device add / delete and update unit (6) allows the control and updating of the devices in the trailer through the website.

[0064] The fault information and fault codes unit (7) displays the possible faults and malfunctions of the detectors (2) or the main control unit (1) through the website.

[0065] The sensor-based signal unit (8) displays the positions of the detectors (2) in the trailer on the website.

[0066] The ID display unit (9) displays the ID numbers of the sensors (2) and the main control unit (1) on the website.

[0067] Trailer identification number information screen (10) displays the trailer identification number.

[0068] Operation principal of the invented system is as follows:

[0069] The detectors (2) mounted in the trailer operate independent of the power supply. The detectors (2) have built-in batteries and these batteries have capacity to operate the detectors (2) for 2 years. Detectors (2) communicates with RFID and main control unit (1). This communication method is not affected by metals in the trailer superstructure and metal components in the trailer chassis. As the detectors (2) communicate wirelessly with the main control unit (1) by the RFID method, their installation is simple and easy.

[0070] The main control unit (1) charges its built-in battery using the power supply from the trailer. The main control unit (1) can run for 1 month using its built-in battery, independent of the power supply. Thus, the system can run without any problems even if no power is supplied to the trailer for 1 month. Since the detectors (2) and the main control unit (1 ) only activate when there is a movement, the batteries of the sensors (2) and the main control unit (1 ) last for such a long time.

[0071] Any movement detected by the detectors (2) is transmitted to the main control unit (1) through wireless communication. All information detected by the hardware and software features of the main control unit (1) is transmitted to the designed website. In this designed website, the detectors (2) and the main control unit (1) always communicate with each other. The main control unit (1) follows the battery charge rate of the detectors (2) and the main control unit (1) through its software, electronic hardware, simcard and charge control systems and communication control systems using the battery level unit (3) on the designed website.

[0072] Thanks to the ID display unit (9), the defined ID numbers of the detectors (2) and the main control unit (1) can be displayed on the website. Moreover, thanks to the feature on the website, the sensors (2) and the main control units (1) installed to each trailer can be displayed using the trailer identification number information screen (10). Apart from all these features, the website also has a sensor-based signal unit (8) thanks to its specifications. Thus, the movement in any location of the trailer can be observed very easily using the sensor-based signal unit (8). When all these features put together, someone who has this system and website can easily follow up the sensors (2) and main control units (1 ) installed on each trailer using the Trailer identification number information screen (10). Moreover, ID numbers of these trailer-specific equipment can be displayed thanks to the ID display unit (9). Finally, the user can control all devices from the website using the device add / delete and update unit (6). Data analysis can be done using data log unit (5). The final data can be analyzed using the last signal date and time unit (4).
