چکیده
This paper presents a new prototype framework of automated tracking and monitoring system for construction materials. Previous technologies such as RFID and GPS deployed in construction material tracking have been reviewed and signal strength-based localization has been examined. As an emerging network standard for industrial applications, brief specifications of ZigBeeTM protocol have been described. We introduce a ZigBee-based tracking system architecture using hybrid techniques of RF and ultrasound to improve positioning accuracy and cost benefit. Finally, feasibility analysis and application scenario have been examined to present the possible deployment framework in construction area.
