Abstract

This paper describes an ICT solution based on an intelligent onboard system which is able to trace theorgans inside a medical vanduring delivery routes to thehospitals, without altering the carriers daily tasks. The intelligent onboard systemis able to ensure the safety of the cargo by means of a sensor networkwho permanently evaluatestheir status.The van understands its environment, including: its location, the temperature and the humidity of the transported organs; and can report incidences instantly via wireless communications to anyone interested. It is a non-intrusive solution which represents a successful experience of using smart environments in a viable way to resolve a real social and healthcare necessity. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
