Calibrate temperature sensor

A temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature inside vehicles for temperature-sensitive goods. This data can be used to monitor the condition of the cargo and the interior of the vehicles and can help to prevent damage caused by extreme temperatures. For example, if the temperature inside a refrigerated trailer is too high, it could indicate that the refrigeration system is not working properly, and could lead to spoilage of the perishable goods inside.

Temperature sensors can be used in combination with humidity sensors to provide a more complete picture of the environment inside vehicles and to help ensure that the cargo is being transported under optimal conditions.
