System and method for monitoring and managing logistics employing global positioning subsystem

A logistics monitoring and controlling method for monitoring transportation of material using a global positioning subsystem, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) in putting information on a vehicle serving for an organization to a central managing device via a vehicle information inputting device;
• (b) in putting information on material transported by the vehicle via a material information inputting device when the vehicle sets out;
• (c) a monitoring platform in a central monitoring device sending a request to the global positioning subsystem for current location information on t he vehicle;
• (d) the global positioning subsystem obtaining the current location information on the vehicle;
• (e) the global positioning subsystem sending the current location information on the vehicle to the central monitoring device via a network;
• and
• (f) the central monitoring device checking whether a current location of the vehicle is along a predetermined route of the vehicle.

A monitoring method for controlling a vehicle transportation, comprising the steps of:

• providing a monitoring platform of a central monitoring device sending a request for a vehicle location information;
• providing a moving vehicle with a vehicle locator receiving said request and sending the vehicle location information to a satellite of a global positioning system;
• having said satellite send said vehicle location information to a receiving device;
• having said receiving device send said vehicle location information to a web server;
• and
• having said central monitoring device access said vehicle location information via said web server.
