SMART QR CODE–ENABLED TRANSPORTER AUTHENTICATION AND PROOF OF DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH REAL-TIME GPS TRACKING

Abstract

The logistics sector faces persistent challenges such as unauthorized transporter access, proxy-based
loading, and disputes regarding proof of delivery. Traditional systems lack real-time authentication and
monitoring, leading to inefficiencies and security risks. This research proposes a Smart QR Code–
Enabled Transporter Authentication and Proof of Delivery System integrated with real-time GPS
tracking. The system utilizes QR.io for dynamic QR generation, WhatsApp API for communication,
Pabbly Connect for workflow automation, Effebot API for voice verification, and GPS technology for
continuous vehicle tracking. Unique, time-bound QR codes authenticate transporter personnel at loading
and delivery points, while GPS tracking provides live location updates throughout transit. Experimental
evaluation with 100 users across multiple scenarios shows a 92% reduction in fraud, 98.5%
authentication accuracy, 97% delivery success rate, and enhanced transparency through real-time
tracking. The system significantly improves logistics security, accountability, and operational efficiency.
