The concept of the Internet of things first became popular in 1999, through the Auto-ID Center at MIT and related market-analysis publications. [23] Radio-frequency identification ( RFID ) was seen by Kevin Ashton (one of the founders of the original Auto-ID Center) as a prerequisite for the Internet of things at that point. [ 24 ]
Decentralized Internet of things, or decentralized IoT, is a modified IoT which utilizes fog computing to handle and balance requests of connected IoT devices in order to reduce loading on the cloud servers and improve responsiveness for latency-sensitive IoT applications like vital signs monitoring of patients, vehicle-to-vehicle communication ...
The technology acts as a base in automated data collection, identification, and analysis systems worldwide. RFID has found its importance in a wide range of markets, including livestock identification and Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) systems because of its capability to track moving objects. These automated wireless AIDC systems are ...
Many ETC systems use transponders like this one to electronically debit the accounts of registered cars without their stopping. Transponder used in Chile for some expressways ETC Built-in Onboard device in a Nissan Fuga vehicle in Japan Genesis G70 vehicle with South Korea's ETC System Hi-pass Terminal A RFID MTAG used for electronic toll collection on controlled-access highways/motorways ...
Parking guidance systems have evolved a lot in recent times. Ultrasound and laser technologies provide information on the availability of parking spaces throughout the parking facility. At the same time, new camera-based technologies now make it possible to read the license plate of the vehicle in each parking space. This is an added value ...
Since 2004, a number of U.S. hospitals have begun implanting patients with RFID tags and using RFID systems; the systems are typically used for workflow and inventory management. [ 91 ] [ 92 ] [ 93 ] The use of RFID to prevent mix-ups between sperm and ova in IVF clinics is also being considered.
RFID-based Asset Tracking requires an infrastructure to be put in place before the whereabouts of tags may be ascertained. An asset tracking system can record the location and usage of the assets and generate various reports. Unlike traditional barcode labels, RFID tags can be read faster and have higher durability.
An indoor positioning system (IPS) is a network of devices used to locate people or objects where GPS and other satellite technologies lack precision or fail entirely, such as inside multistory buildings, airports, alleys, parking garages, and underground locations.
