High-risk routes for cargo theft
A new system empowers transport companies to protect their cargo proactively. The technology specialist Verisk has launched a solution to minimise the risk of cargo theft.
The ‘Cargo Net’ application uses a proprietary algorithm to generate a ‘route cargo theft risk score’ that provides a relative measure of probability that a crime or loss could occur on any route in the USA or Canada.
The system measures the probability of a loss for certain risks by assigning a score of 1 to 100 – with 1 representing the lowest likelihood of an event occurring. It’s based on factors such as cargo type, value, length of haul, origin, destination, day of the week and the theft history of certain truck stops. (ben)
