Abstract
In this paper, a new integrated solution is proposed through active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global Positioning System (GPS) to enhance the performance of wireless network in wider coverage area. Active RFID is used instead of passive for the purpose of better performance. The main feature of RFID technology is its ability to identify, locate, track, and monitor objects without a clear line of slight between tag and reader. New solution can complete the problem for tracking object in long distance area by using identification. Tracking in such a place consists of various obstacles is solved by integrated both active RFID with GPS. For the purpose to promote the accuracy system tracking is by advancing the wireless communication system to manage system monitoring and tracking. NMEA data from GPS system provides location information whereas the RFID system provides the ID of the RFID tag. Using Visual Basic.NET, these NMEA data are extracted to latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, UTC time, number of satellites and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The
latitude and longitude data from GPS receiver are mapped on Google Earth to search the location in map. Moreover, low cost and reliable wireless system is designed by integrated RFID with GPS functionalities. Better system monitoring and tracking can solve the problem of stolen car by detecting the identity of the car after was reported to responsible ones. Therefore, it would be easy for other people nowadays to achieve modern management of transportation that reduces crime.
