The automation development of global container terminal is becoming increasingly apparent,therefore,it is essential to include refrigerated container into the terminal automation management system.This article studies the methods of monitoring and control on the refrigerated container. Using CAN bus to build a network of terminal equipment and controllers,we can realize 7×24 h monitoring towards temperature,working status and power consumption of the refrigerated container. Besides,this article gives a solution of a reefer container monitoring and control system based on CAN bus and fiber-optic cable network combined with reference of an overseas container terminal,which aims to achieve real-time supervision,reduce manual costs and improve the efficiency of automated management of the container terminal
