The solutions for dangerous goods transportation usually need to deal with several constraints and requirements. The technological level in logistics is low and fleet management systems typically employ proprietary solutions. Web services can help tackle these problems since they help widen the market, reduce the gap between advanced solutions and small to medium enterprises, and foster the integration with other existing systems. The paper presents our experience on implementing a service-based framework for advanced logistics. We propose a layered organization to abstract physical devices into Web services, which are then used to ease the communication between containers and interested parties. The main ideas behind the framework are discussed by considering two key processes for the management of dangerous goods: the processes of tracking and tracing goods and of alerting public authorities in case of danger situations.
