A survey on applications of RFID technology

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Recent trends use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in day to day life. At the beginning RFID was developed to replace barcodes in supply chain. They are the ubiquitous tool available for monitoring any item in various fields. The main objective of this paper is to survey RFID technology based on its security and safety applications. Methods/Statistical Analysis: RFID technique is mainly used for the security, tracking and monitoring purposes. Findings: This paper presents a survey on the applications of RIFD in the tollgate transactions, bank locker security system, automatic vehicle speed control and library books security system. Many applications visualized have a genuine use. The communication is in the wireless manner and does not require line of sight. Applications/Improvement: This paper presents a survey on the applications of RIFD in the tollgate transactions, bank locker security system, automatic vehicle speed control and library books security system.
