BEYOND LOCATION TRACKING
Cargo in transit is increasingly vulnerable to organized theft, unauthorized access, and visibility gaps traditional tracking tools were not designed to solve.
The Transit Security Unit, or TSU, provides trailer-level awareness with early threat detection, live video visibility, and real-time response support.
TRANSIT PROTECTION
RSS Transit Security connects trailer-level technology with our U.S.-based Command Center to help detect threats early, verify activity in real time, and support response while cargo is in motion.
Sensors monitor changes within the trailer, triggering alerts when doors open, enabling immediate visibility.
Live video from integrated cameras allows the Command Center officers to quickly verify threats and take appropriate action.
Built-in speakers support live voice intervention to stop unauthorized activity in progress.
Officers initiate predetermined response protocols, engaging client stakeholders and coordinating with law enforcement as necessary.
Transit protection means knowing more than where your cargo is. It means turning awareness into action.
INDUSTRY INSIGHT
Protecting freight today requires more than tracking. It requires real-time awareness, rapid intervention, and active deterrence.
Cargo theft is rising across the supply chain
Many thefts occur while trailers are unattended
High-value loads remain prime targets for organized theft
Early detection and rapid response help prevent loss
BEYOND BASIC TRACKING
Many fleets still rely on legacy visibility tools such as tractor-based GPS tracking or post-incident reporting.
Provide passive visibility, not active protection
Often identify problems after a theft has occurred
Do not support immediate response during a developing theft

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Learn how RSS helps protect high-value freight with real-time detection, live Command Center response, and active trailer-level security designed to deter theft before cargo disappears.
The Transit Surveillance Unit, or TSU, is RSS’s active cargo protection solution designed to monitor trailers and loads in real time while in transit. Unlike traditional GPS tracking systems, the TSU combines AI-powered threat detection, live video streaming, GPS tracking, geofencing, and live voice intervention connected directly to the RSS U.S.-based Command Center.
Traditional GPS systems typically provide passive location visibility after a problem has already occurred. The TSU is designed for active protection. It can detect suspicious activity in real time, trigger alerts, stream live video to the Command Center, and allow operators to issue live voice challenges to deter theft while it is happening.
Yes. When suspicious activity is detected, alerts are immediately sent to the RSS Command Center where trained operators assess the situation and respond in real time. Depending on the event, RSS can issue live voice deterrence, verify authorized access, contact drivers or dispatch teams, and escalate directly to local law enforcement if necessary.
No. The TSU is designed for fast deployment and easy installation using the trailer’s existing E-track system. No hard wiring or permanent modifications are required, allowing fleets to deploy the system quickly across different trailers as needed.
Transit protection is especially valuable for high-value, high-risk, or time-sensitive freight. This includes retail distribution, consumer goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, manufacturing, and other supply chain operations where theft, tampering, or unauthorized access can create major operational and financial losses.
The TSU includes an onboard rechargeable battery system capable of operating for up to 14 days between charges under normal conditions. The unit can typically recharge in approximately four hours using a standard 110V outlet.
Cargo theft and organized supply chain crime continue to rise across North America, with many thefts occurring while trailers are unattended or in transit. Modern theft operations often move quickly, making passive tracking insufficient. Active protection solutions like the TSU help organizations identify threats early, intervene faster, and reduce losses before cargo disappears.
