dc.description.abstract | The primary objective of this research is to investigate the performance and reliability
of using RFID technology. There are some factors that can have an effect on RFID
performance. Reading distance and material’s magnetic penetration are issues
discussed in this master thesis.
RFID is a technology with bright future. Many companies and organizations are trying
now to implement RFID in their infrastructure, but the implementation progress is
very slow because of the security, privacy and cost problems.
Abu Dhabi Municipality & Town Planning in United Arab Emirates is a local
government organization that serves more than one million people in one of the most
modern city in the world. The Sewerage Directorate in Abu Dhabi wants to find a
technology solution that solves their problems such as manhole identifying. RFID
technology is very good candidate to solve these problems.
In this research, the Sewerage Directorate’s facilities and environments will be first
analysed. Then, this analysis will be used to define the characteristics of the RFID
system that could be implemented.
The selected RFID equipment was used as testing system under this research.
PocketPC software was developed to display and manage data when components
get communicate. The conducted test scenarios were based on the requirements of
the actual environments. Finally, the results will be evaluated and compared to the
theoretical ones, including recommendations and suggestions for further work.
This work was done in parallel with another master thesis on possible use of Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) in Abu Dhabi Sewerage Directorate using Contextual
Design methodology. | en |
