Abstract
We conduct an empirical study on RFID application to a real container terminal gate. The objective of this study is three-fold. The first is to design a new gate management process that applies RFID technology. For this purpose, we analyze current gate management process to find opportunities for improvement. The second is to verify the 433 and 900 MHz RFID technology in terms of the recognition rate of information contained in RFID tag under various conditions such as the speed of vehicle, the position of RFID tag and the tilt of RFID reader. We perform some experimental tests for this verification. Finally, we try to find suitable conditions for the speed of vehicle, the position of RFID tag and the tilt of RFID tag reader based on results of the experimental tests. Those findings are obtained with some ANOVA tests. Additionally, we summarize anticipated issues when applying RFID technology to the gate management process and possible solutions for the issues.
