Established automatic fare collection (AFC) solutions for public transport systems that use proximity HF radio frequency identification (RFID) smart cards are lacking a convenient method to determine the alighting point of a passenger. This paper considers an AFC system based on passive HF/UHF dual band RFID transponders. A UHF RFID link is envisaged for remote passenger detection. The paper discusses...
Public transportation is an important component of urban transportation, this paper puts forward taking electronic bus stop boards as carriers and integrating technical means, such as GPS, GIS, digital bulletin and 3G net, etc, to realize the integrated solution of accurate bus station reporting, platform security protection, passenger SOS and public information release.
Recent years have witnessed the wide adoption of the RFID technology in many important application domains including logistics, inventory, retailing, public transportation, and security. Though RFID tags (transponders) can be passive, the high power consumption of RFID readers (interrogators) has become a critical issue as handheld and mobile readers are increasingly available in pervasive computing...
Container traffic passing through terminals has increased dramatically. The massive flows of trucks and containers typically cause traffic jams when processing efficiency at a gate is insufficient. Therefore, automatic gate systems that recognize container numbers and truck license plates are needed in container terminals. However, several systems, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and...
This paper proposes a systematical approach for redesigning a secure and efficient supply chain. A real international trading case of transporting cargos from an offshore bonded warehouse to a domestic one is used to demonstrate. Through supply chain architecture analysis, system boundaries, interfaces, and value related operands are defined. With System Dynamics analysis, feedback and relations of...
The resolution of emergency crises and natural disasters is heavily dependent, among other things, on efficient supply chain management to bring the necessary material to the first time responders. The supply chain used in the resolution of emergency crises must have capabilities of agility and flexibility to respond to the challenges, which are typical of these scenarios. Emergency crises are often...
Today, the demand for flexible, large-scale parking structures is increasing all over the globe. To enhance safety or to sustain development, dual-surveillance based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks are modeled to be spatially integrated with a helix circulation pattern. Moreover, reliable wireless area communication is systematically organized to counter the effects of an...
Cargo containers which transport 90 percent of the world's trade transit the countries of the world daily. Despite the vulnerability of cargo containers, only about 5 percent of the over 10 million cargo containers entering the U.S. each year can be inspected now. Our primary goal is to develop the smart container security system using RFID and Wireless Sensor Networks in order to enhance the cargo...
Due to the global nature of todaypsilas economy, cargo containers are the most commonly used form of transportation for the worldpsilas trade. Many government initiatives, regulations and mandates have introduced new requirements for cargo security since the events of 9/11. These necessary security investments for containers can produce new advantages in the global supply chain and the participating...
In the container transportation, RFID and GSM/CDMA technology applied to monitor import and export goods, which will make sure the security of goods in transportation. In this paper, the container monitoring security infrastructure is provided, which is combined by national custom monitoring center, port monitoring center and vessel monitoring center, in the security infrastructure, the searching...
For decades, RFID technology has been progressed as various types like EAS, passive RFID, active RFID, smart label, smart card, etc for their effectiveness in security as well as cost. RFID technology can be adopted for various applications from simple identification for item management to complex track and trace system for container management. In this paper, freight container yard management system...
