Design and implementation of RFID based tracking algorithms for a moving object

Abstract

The development of social services and enhancement of the living standards has made it an urgent need for a way to adapt to the complex situation of the new positioning technology. Also, data transmission is very important from one portable device to another. But secured data transmission is also important otherwise hacker can control the data communication. Radio Frequency Identification is the next generation wireless communication technology. RFID is a noncontact technology that identifies objects that are attached with tags. Tags consist of microchip and antenna. RFID readers obtained the information about the object and the surrounding through communication with tag antenna. In recent era, RFID technology have a wide range of applications in all aspects of life and production, such as logistics tracking, car alarm, security and other items. The use of RFID technology is to locate and is very promising for various research and scholarly work. RFID positioning technology has system stability, with minimum error and low-cost advantages and a location algorithm with RFID application is the focus of this study. In this article, I have tried to design a model of RFID based tracking system to catch a dynamically moving object, more specifically the suspected hens which are affected by the Avian-influenza virus. As a case study I have developed an algorithm for RFID based tracking system and implemented it in python scripting language and stored the data in database by using MySql. In order to collaborate my design and implement the system I have verified my proposed system using simulated environment. The results are found satisfactory.
