ABSTRACT: This study proposes an integrated architecture combining Near Field Communication (NFC) event identification, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity for mobile asset management and vehicle traceability. A four-component traceability index evaluates event completeness, record integrity, positioning availability and authenticated attribution. Three configurations (NFC only, GNSS only and integrated NFC-GNSS) are compared using a reproducible MATLAB Monte Carlo simulation of 50 vehicles over.....
