In considering a port as an intelligent transport system, it is necessary to foresee the possible future development and requirements that do not exist today, but could appear with the development and advancement of technology. Therefore, an increase in freight volume in ports, and development of more sophisticated systems of freight monitoring are to be expected, which will provide the possibility of identification and control of freight from the moment of entering the port by land or sea route, to the moment of leaving the port, regardless of the type of packaging and the physical state of the freight. Such a system has to support receipt, filtering and processing of a great deal of information from various sources and providing processed and systematised information to the interested parties.
