Vehicle tracking plays more important roles in modern transportation and logistics operation. This paper deals with a new approach to track vehicles based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. The vehicle tracking system is designed overallly supported by Axiomatic Design theory. The basic steps of vehicle tracking based on RFID are developed and a six-layered architecture for th...

RFID projects have been deployed in many enterprises profoundly. From the perspective of architecture, a RFID application system includes three parts: hardware, software and middleware. The hardware consists of RFID readers, tags and antennas. Software refers to the enterprise management information system which has been operated for a long time. Middleware is the most time-consuming part. How ...

e-mail: [email protected] Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology which provides automatic identification and real time data acquisition capabilities without requiring additional human resources. This paper presents a control system for the embarkation/ disembarkation of passengers and vehicles on/from ferries, supported by RFID technology. A basic model of a RFID control system i...

The Radio Frequency Identification System (RFID) has become a popular system and its applications has reached in most of the fields like toll bridge, supply chain management and defense sector [8]. The RFID has also entered into the field of medical sciences [4, 7]. Everyday, RFID tags are becoming very small and their dimensions are also reducing to 0.002 inches (RFID powder tag) developed by ...

We leverage increasing passive RFID tag memory to propose distributed RFID tag storage infrastructures (D-RFID stores). A D-RFID store is a large set of tags with significantly sized re-writeable storage. Interrogators interact with D-RFID stores by reading from and writing to tags, providing a wide range of possible applications that are otherwise resource-inefficient. Examples include tagging...

RFID middleware is anticipated to one of the main research areas in the field of RFID applications in the near future. The Data EPC Acquisition System (DEPCAS) is an original proposal designed by our group to transfer and apply fundamental ideas from System and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems into the areas of RFID acquisition, processing and distribution systems. In this paper we focus on how...

The traditional Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, in which the information maintained in tags is passive and static, has no intelligent decision-making ability to suit application and environment dynamics. The Second-Generation RFID (2G-RFID) system, referred as 2G-RFID-sys, is an evolution of the traditional RFID system to ensure better quality of service in future networks. Due to...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are emerging as the primary object identification mechanism, especially in supply chain management. However, RFID naturally generates a large amount of duplicate readings. Removing these duplicates from the RFID data stream is paramount as it does not contribute new information to the system and wastes system resources. Existing approaches to deal w...

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) communication system known as auto-id has experienced tremendous growth worldwide, considering as a flexible mechanism for identification of objects. Degradation of data transmission due to external interference and interference of RFID system itself (tags and reader collision) is one of the most important factors to restrict the development of the RFID sys...

This paper proposes the application of RFID technology in healthcare industry based on its increased functionality, high reliability, easy-to-use capabilities and low cost. After a brief presentation of RFID technologies and their applications, the paper describes an RFID-based system that can provide efficient facilities to allow essential information management for emergency care across hospi...
