Perishablefoodproductssuchasvegetables,fruit,meatorfishrequirerefrigeratedtransportation.Foralltheseproducts,Temperature(T)isthemostimportantfactorforextendingshelflife,beingessentialtoensurethattemperaturesalongthecoldchainareadequate.However,localtemperaturedeviationscanbepresentinalmostanytransportsituation.Reportsfromtheliteratureindicategradientsof5°Cormore,whendeviationsofonlyafewdegreescanleadtospoiledgoodsandthousandsofEurosindamages.Arecentstudyshowsthatrefrigeratedshipmentsriseabovetheoptimumtemperaturein30%oftripsfromthesuppliertothedistributioncentre,andin15%oftripsfromthedistributioncentretothestores.Royetal.analyzedthesupplyoffreshtomatoinJapanandquantifiedproductlossesof5%duringtransportationanddistribution.Thermalvariationsduringtransoceanicshipmentshavealsobeenstudied.Theresultsshowedthattherewasasignificanttemperaturevariabilitybothspatiallyacrossthewidthofthecontaineraswellastemporallyalongthetrip,andthatitwasoutofthespecificationmorethan30%ofthetime.Inthoseexperimentsmonitoringwasachievedbymeansoftheinstallationofhundredsofwiredsensorsinasinglecontainer,whichmakesthissystemarchitecturecommerciallyunfeasible.

2.MaterialsandMethods
2.1.ZigBeeMotes
FourZigBee/IEEE802.15.4motes(transmitters)andonebasestation(receiver)wereused.AllofthemweremanufacturedbyCrossbow.Themotesconsistofamicrocontrollerboard(Micaz)togetherwithanindependenttransducerboard(MTS400)attachedbymeansofa52pinconnector.TheMicazmotehostsanAtmelATMEGA103/128LCPUrunningtheTinyOperatingSystem(TinyOS)thatenablesittoexecuteprogramsdevelopedusingthenesClanguage.TheMicazhasaradiodeviceChipconCC24202.4GHz250KbpsIEEE802.15.4.PowerissuppliedbytwoAAlithiumbatteries.
Thetransducerboardhostsavarietyofsensors:

2.2.ExperimentalSetUp
Theexperimentwasconductedinarefrigeratedtrucktravelingduring23h41m21sfromMurcia(Spain)toAvignon(France),adistanceof1,051km.Thetrucktransportedapprox.14,000kgoflettucevar.LittleGemin28palletsof1,000×1,200mm.Thelettucewaspackedincardboardboxeswithopeningsforaircirculation.
Thelengthofthesemi-trailerwas15mwithaCarrierVector1800refrigerationunitmountedtothefrontofthesemi-trailer.Forthisshipmentthesetpointwas0°C.
Thetruckwasoutfittedwiththewirelesssystem,coveringdifferentheightsandlengthsfromthecoolingequipment,whichwasatthefrontofthesemi-trailer.Fourmotesweremountedwiththecargo(seeFigure1):

2.3.DataAnalysis
AspecializedMATLABprogramhasbeendevelopedforassessingthepercentageoflostpackets(%)intransmission,bymeansofcomputingthenumberofmultiplesendingfailuresforagivensamplerate(SR).Amultiplefailureofmmessagesoccurswhenevertheelapsedtimebetweentwomessagesliesbetween1.5×m×SRand2.5×m×SR.Forexample,withasamplerateof11s,asinglefailure(m=1)occurswheneverthetimeperiodbetweenconsecutivespacketsislongerthan16.5s(1.5×1×11)andshorterthan27.5s(2.5×1×11).Thetotalnumberoflostpacketsiscomputedbasedonthefrequencyofeachfailuretype.Accordingly,thetotalpercentageoflostpacketsiscalculatedastheratiobetweenthetotalnumberoflostpacketsandthenumberofsentpackets.
Thestandarderror(SE)associatedtotheratiooflostpacketsiscomputedbasedonabinomialdistributionasexpressedinEquation1,wherenisthetotalnumberofpacketssent,andpistheratiooflostpacketsintheexperiment.
