  Transportation of hazardous materials represent a high risk operation all
over the world. Flammable substances such as oil, kerosene, hydrocarbons,
ammonium nitrate or toxic products are shipped every day on busy roads by
trucks. An innovative solution for increasing hazardous materials
transportation safety is presented in this paper. The solution integrates three
systems: one mounted on the truck that can alert authorities in case of an
accident, one portable system for quick identification of the carried
substances and intervention method and a component for real-time road
monitoring. The proposed solution is based on RFID card with a special memory
structure presented in this paper
