Abstract
On April 14, 2007, China launched the Compass M-1 satellite, This satellite represented the first of a new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that was planned to have a total of 35 satellites which gives a bright future to modern logistics and transportation management. In this paper, the author first introduces how the Beidou Navigation and Positioning System works then takes a real time remote monitoring logistics and transportation system as an example to illustrate the establishment of the communication system between the moving vehicles and the monitoring center More over, the author discusses the key technologies used in the system. Lastly, he gives the prediction of the prospective applications of the Beidou Navigation and Positioning Satellites in logistics and transportation.
