Abstract
A system and method for providing verification of tracking and monitoring devices with cargo transportation units is provided. The track and monitoring device is mounted to the cargo transportation unit to provide location tracking and security functions. The association process is typical a manual process by a technician of identifying container visual identifiers to the installed tracking and monitoring unit. Errors in the association process can occur during installation and repairs. The association between tracking and monitoring devices and their respective cargo transportation unit is verified by receiving images from one tracking and monitoring device at a server and verifying the cargo transportation unit identifier is associated with another tracking and monitoring device.
