Impact of a radio-frequency identification system and information interchange on clearance processes for cargo at border posts
Bhero, Ernest; Hoffman, Alwyn; Lusanga, Kabanda; De Coning, Arno (AOSIS, 2015)Background: Improved operational efficiency is important to role players in cross-border logistics and trade corridors. Cargo owners and cargo forwarders have been particularly concerned about long delays in the processing ... -
A low cost circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna with low axial ratio for UHF RFID applications
Naidoo, Sheridan J.; Hoffman, Alwyn; Bhero, Ernest; Kumar, Pradeep (IAMOT, 2020)This paper presents a low cost circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna with low axial ratio (AR) and broad AR beam width for ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications. The ... -
The use of tracking technology for improved management of trade corridors
Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Lusanga, Kabanda P.; Bhero, Ernest (IEEE, 2013)The sub-Sahara African economy is suffering from the inefficient management of trade corridors. Long delays experienced at weigh bridges and border posts are a big contributor towards the slow average movement of freight. ... -
Using information and communication technology to improve the efficiency of African border posts
Bhero, Ernest; Hoffman, Alwyn (IEEE, 2015)African border posts have long been characterized by high levels of inefficiency, resulting in long cross-border delays that hamper the African economy. This partly results from the conflicting objectives of the multiplicity ...
