Title
Low Cost Real Time Location System Based in Radio Frequency Identification for the Provision of Social and Safety Services
Abstract
The complexity of deployment and high implementation costs impede proliferation of real time location systems, depriving society of the benefits in terms of safety that these systems are capable of providing. The people tracking system presented in this article prioritizes ease of installation and adaptability to new low cost devices in emerging market against location accuracy to suit large scenarios that lack own infrastructure. The system has been implemented in a large playground to provide to the guardians of monitored children information about location and alert when an output of the controlled area is detected. Wireless channel characterization has been performed by means of deterministic 3D ray launching technique in order to assess the radioplanning process in the implemented network. This article describes the system and how it has been deployed in the validation scenario.
