Abstract

Temperature control is a major concern in cold chain monitoring and traceability services for the largest cause of food poisoning. Considerable work has examined the use of wireless solutions in warehouses. However, the maintaining of the chain during the transportation phase remains very crucial. In this paper, we present new wireless sensor network (WSN) solution for cold chain monitoring. This solution is based on self-organizing protocols and aims at saving energy in order to increase the sensor lifetime and as a result the global network longevity within the given context. Furthermore, this solution does not need any base station or central equipment. To save energy, periodical active/sleep schedule is adopted in the design of our protocols which were dimensioned and validated by an analytical model described in this paper.
