  2. Overview WHAT is TRANSCOM? • Unclassified web-based tracking and communication system • Monitor radioactive material shipments at near real time • Entering or leaving a DOE facility • Available to users with a need to know • Encrypted web application • Compatible on most web-enabled mobile devices WHY: Enhances Transportation Security • Protects Shipment Routes, Positions, and Bill of Lading information • Limits Customer Access to shipments based on a “need to know” • Alerts door open/closed; route deviations; panic/emergency alert

  3. Services TRANSCOM COMMUNICATION CENTER (TCC) • 24/7 staffed monitoring center and help desk • Operators maintain system operability – troubleshoot • Proactively track shipments, set security controls • Liaison with shippers, carriers, and DOE stakeholders • Manage communication and status changes within application • Coordinate outages for maintenance of system • Set up training simulations, provide classroom training and maintain on-line • training • Publish a periodic Users Group Newsletter

  4. Web Application Features • Mapping Capabilities • Google interface, access vehicle information • Status Board • Snapshot of shipments, access to many features/functions • Messaging • Two way communication between vehicle and TCC messaging tools available to users • Organization Level Privileges • User authentication is managed by the Organization requesting access to TRANSCOM – in conjunction with system level controls

  5. Web Application Features • Mobile Device Friendly • Designed to work on most mobile web-enabled devices • Shipments screen for Shippers • Enter shipment records on one easy to use screen • TRANSCOM Reports • Extensive reports are available in PDF and CSV • User Preferences • Set personal preferences, email notifications of status changes, audible alerts, and hover tips

  7. Pilot Capability Studies Argonne National Lab Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors; transmission of alert notifications from RFID Oak Ridge National Lab Door seal open and close alerts; transmission of alert Notifications from sensors located on the truck

  8. Lesson’s Learned • TRANSCOM 3.0 = Major Software Upgrade • NEW User Interface Front End Application – Java Script • NEW Database Design, Tables, Triggers, Procedures, Functions - Oracle • NEW External Interface Custom Application – Data feed from Qualcomm in XML/Web Services • Challenges: • Pre development coordination with multiple developers on: • Requirements document • Design reviews • Replication of shipment data during testing • Coordinating multiple software vendors • Beta tester(s) feedback
