## Abstract

The present invention discloses a vehicle goods real-time inventory system based on radio frequency identification technology. The system includes an automatic goods inventory unit, a vehicle gateway unit, an alarm prompt unit, and a remote management unit. Through the automatic goods inventory unit, the system registers quantity changes during loading and unloading of goods in real time, performs quantity inventory on transported goods regularly or irregularly, and transmits registration and inventory information to the vehicle gateway unit or directly to the remote management unit through the vehicle gateway unit. The system provided in the present invention can register quantity changes during loading and unloading of goods in real time, and perform quantity inventory on transported goods regularly or irregularly. On this basis, the system can comprehensively determine whether goods on a freight vehicle are at risk of being lost.

## Claims
