The real necessity to create the structure of ITS in Brazil has been discussed deeply in the academics and industrial point of view. Nowadays, tracking and monitoring systems have been challenged for years. The demand from the local market, mainly security questions and logistics applications are major issues development solutions. This article provides a model of secure logistic chain, aiming at integrating the electronic seal, tracking and non-intrusive inspection technologies, it means a segment of the Intelligent Transportation Systems. By using as premises the security concepts and standards set forth by several entities worldwide, among them, CSI (Container Security Initiative), WCO (World Customs Organization) recommendations and the SAFE Ports Act. This model might be applied within the supply chain in order to help in cargo security, by monitoring its inviolability.
