SENT-GEO is an advanced tracking system in Poland that complements the standard SENT system by requiring real-time GPS data from vehicles transporting certain high-risk goods, such as fuel, alcohol, and tobacco. This system allows authorities to continuously monitor the location and route of these shipments, enhancing control over goods that are susceptible to tax fraud and illegal trade.
You can find more information about the SENT system here
NOTE:
- To transfer data to the SENT system, a special GPS tracker setting is required:
- the tracker must send the following mandatory parameters: position.latitude, position.longitude, position.altitude, position.speed, position.hdop, position.direction (if position.hdop is missing, the default accuracy of 5 meters will be transmitted)
- the tracker must send position maximum after travelling 1 km or after 1 minute depending on which event occurs later, but not less than every 5 minute
- the tracker must send position when the azimuth of the vehicle's direction is changed by an amount equal to or greater than 40 degree
- the tracker must send position at a standstill of the means of transport, with the engine running, every 5 minutes
- the tracker must send position before turning off the engine, indicating where the vehicle stopped for a longer break resulting from regulations related to the driver's working time and after switching on the engine, thus indicating the end of the break.
- When registering a ZSL operator in the PUESC system, you will need to specify the IP address from which the data will be received, you can find it here
- Only data from devices located in Poland is sent to the SENT-GEO system
- If you encounter a problem that the stream cannot connect to the provided address, contact the SENT-GEO system support, the port may be closed by default
