The project goal in 2009 was to introduce leading-edge mobile devices into inspection processes of industrial waste. The project team aimed to assist inspectors tracing vehicles by these latest mobile devices. Mobile devices or Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) had high mobility, scalability and computing ability. This year, the project provided 44 UMPCs, operated on the Microsoft Windows platform, with built-in GPS and HSDPA modem allowed users accessing industrial waste management systems and retrieving information on the go. According to the first-year experience, the project team gradually improved hardware accessories and the software functions to enhance convenience, simplicity and user-friendliness. Based on inspectors’ requirement for tracking vehicles and patrolling at a certain location, the project team developed two main systems: a tracking system on mobile devices and the mobile inspection website. The tracking system on mobile devices achieved dynamically tracking vehicles with UMPCs built-in GPS to locate real-time position, HSDPA modem to retrieve positions of target vehicles and the network analysis function of GIS to navigate to target vehicles. While inspecting, the inspectors could take pictures and videos about inspection targets by the webcam connected to mobile devices, and upload those photos and videos to the system. The mobile inspection website provided functions for looking up inspection projects, vehicles and companies profile and manifests. Several important functions were improved and enhanced this year. First of all, the project team developed a real-time tracking system so that the inspectors could retrieve real-time vehicle’s locations dynamically according to the distance with the target vehicle within 5 seconds. Secondly, the project team developed a wizard-style interface provided a step by step approach to improve user friendliness. The other one is the development of image platform which provided real-time and non real-time transmission with GPS coordinates to collect on-site situation. In addition to the enhancement of system functionality, the project team turned in 42 inspection projects and held one business review meeting, two requirement interviews and 6 training courses. The overall satisfaction of training courses was 96％. The usage rate was greatly increased. Comparing to the usage of last year, the growth rate this year was 264%.
