Abstract
A traceability system for a bulk commodity supply chain is provided. The system includes a tracking device, a location determination subsystem, and at least one computing device having at least one processor. The location determination subsystem is configured to determine positional information of the tracking device while placed in a bulk commodity traveling along the bulk commodity supply chain. The processor receives the positional information from the location subsystem, extracts positional values from the positional information, and processes the positional values to identify motion primitives. A modeling tool is applied to the identified motion primitives to produce a positional path of the tracking device, which is output, for example, via a user interface. The positional path represents travel of the bulk commodity along the supply chain.
