Transportation of hazardous materials represent a high risk operation all over the world. Flammable substances such as oil, kerosene, hydrocarbons, ammonium nitrate or toxic products are shipped every day on busy roads by trucks. An innovative solution for increasing hazardous materials transportation safety is presented in this paper. The solution integrates three systems: one mounted on the truck that can alert authorities in case of an accident, one portable system for quick identification of the carried substances and intervention method and a component for real-time road monitoring. The proposed solution is based on RFID card with a special memory structure presented in this paper
