At present, the wireless communications and mobile computing technology are relatively well developed. This article proposes a new special vehicle monitoring system in order to meet the needs of intelligent transportation industry. The monitoring system for special transport vehicles is designed to pass a full range of real-time monitoring to safeguard the vehicle transport of dangerous or valuable goods in transit security. The system has two main subsystems, including vehicle terminal subsystem and server-side subsystem. Wherein, the main function of the vehicle terminal subsystem is to all-round monitoring the specialty vehicles, including video, vehicle status, goods status and environment status etc. The terminal ensures the effectiveness of monitoring by using a 3G-based hybrid network access. The server-side subsystem is primarily responsible for information collection/processing/storage, providing monitoring display and publishing the WEB services which supported logistics information management systems and real-time traffic information. In practice, this article designs and implements a prototype system based on a natural gas transport fleet.
