| Summary: | This project presents the design of a Mobile RFID Tracking System. It is
designed to track an object in wide area for example a moving children in Electronics
Engineering’s building using RFID technology. This system using radio frequency
identification (RFID) can be divided to hardware and software part. In this study, only
software part is being researched and developed. Software system can be analogy as a
central processor and hardware part as controlled devices. This preliminary project will
focus on software development using Visual Basic 6 that provides user with a way to
interact with the system, user friendly, comfort and interactive for the users. Users can
easily monitor the position of tagged children in a large distance by implementing an
application that reveals the position of a children at anytime anywhere in the coverage
area. Currently, many of children missing cases happened every day. A lot of initiative
to prevent these problems including the installation of the surveillance camera and
Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker in potential problem areas. However, the
surveillance camera has it blind area that makes it useless to track the object in critical
angle and GPS is ineffective indoors because buildings block GPS transmission but
RFID is more reliable because radio signal can penetrate any obstructions and it is very
cheap compared with surveillance camera and GPS. In conclusion, this system has the
high market potential. From this project, the system has been successfully developed
that contains RFID Tags Registry form, graphic user interface (GUI) design, vii
communication module (master), communication module (slave) and database that
detect location of the object within each m |
