With the evolution of information technology, our society is becoming more and more electronically connected. Daily transactions between individuals or between individuals and various organizations are conducted increasingly through highly interconnected electronic devices. The capability of automatically establishing the identity of individuals is thus essential to the reliability of these tra...

Rapid advances in wireless technologies and the near ubiquitous nature of portable mobile devices provide an opportunity to develop and deliver new types of location centric applications and services to users. However the majority of the current location based systems lack sufficient granularity and accuracy. This paper attempts to address some of these issues and presents an internal location ...

With the advent of wireless technologies, it has been found that using wireless signals for the purpose of vehicular traffic management is the most cost effective process as wireless signature are available across all terrains and it is ubiquitous. As the road space is not expanding in line with the growth of automobiles, traffic congestion is bound to increase on a regular basis. The only way ...

This paper reports on a field demonstration of RFID tag reading technology designed to collect link travel times for traffic management. Multiple wireless solar powered E-ZPass tag readers were deployed and tested at two locations in upstate New York. The technology developed is described, as well as illustrated examples of the data collected and presented in real-time via the internet. A progn...

In this study, we explore the use of information for inventory decision in the healthcare organization (HO). We consider the scenario when the HO can make use of the information collected from some correlated products to enhance its inventory planning. Motivated by our real world observations that HOs adopt RFID and bar-coding system for information collection purpose, we examine the effectiven...

This paper describes a wearable augmented reality system using positioning infrastructures and a pedometer. To realize augmented reality systems, the position and orientation of user’s viewpoint should be obtained in real time. The proposed system measures the orientation of user’s viewpoint by an inertial sensor and the user’s position using positioning infrastructures in environments and a pe...

A wearable system is described that enables users to perform simple command selection and input operations. The system is suitable for use while moving and in almost any posture. The implementation uses RFID and is low in cost and power requirements. There is provision for changing between application contexts, making the system suitable for use in mobile and ubiquitous computing environments w...

This paper aims at the practical problems of warehouse in Z enterprise, constructing the intelligent storage system, through the use of RFID technology, sensor technology, ZigBee technology to improve information transmission efficiency of the system, shortening the system response time. The paper solved the problem which the warehousing activities can’t be real-time controlled in the drawbacks...
