In recent decades, RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology has been recognized as one of the most core competencies in implementing ubiquitous society. However, Korea has not seen good success in diffusion of RFID even though Korean government continues funding many projects to diffuse the technology in industries. Most previous researches overestimate the growth of Korean RFID market in contrary to real market situation. This study aims to analyze the Korean RFID market and find a reasonable forecasting model for it. Our experimental results show that Bass forecasting model provides the more realistic estimates than any other models and the analyses of forecasting error provide useful information for the better forecasting. We also observed that government policy plays a crucial role in the diffusion of RFID technology in Korea.

In this paper, we propose an application of RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag to food wastes disposal system of Cheongju city. The existing system of Cheongju city is monthly fixed amount levy system. The weak point of this system must pay a same commission in spite of each other different food wastes quantity. Also the accurate occurrence quantity of the food wastes and present condition grasp of control are impossible. It will not be able to reflect to a policy decision because does not manage the control of the food waste efficiently. On the other hand, when a food wastes measuring system using RFID is executed tag, it will manage and analyze automatically the obtained data. And collecting, transporting and handling of the food wastes come to be very easy. Also the reproduction and embezzlement of the tag are impossible. As a result of this system, it brings the decrement of the food waste. Therefore the economic effect could be come true and the food wastes is controlled environment-friendly. The food wastes disposal system using RFID tag will be able to contribute in u-city constructions with RFID/USN technology which pursues from the government.

최근 건설 산업이 고도화, 지능화됨에 따라 건설자재정보의 효율적인 관리방안으로 RFID 기술을 이용하려는 연구 및 적용 사례가 증가 하고 있다. RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)란 라디오 주파수를 이용한 무선인식 기법을 뜻하는 것으로 건설자재에 RFID Transponder(이하 태그)를 부착하여 생산, 유통, 설비 등 전 과정의 정보 추적 및 관리가 가능하다. 그러나 RFID 시스템 특성상 전자기장이 형성되는 철골자재나 수분이 포함된 콘크리트, 도료(안료) 등의 자재에서는 RFID 적용이 쉽지 않다. 또한, 현재 사용 중인 RFID 장비마저도 표준화 되어 있지 않고 사용 주파수 대역 또한 각각 다르기 때문에 건설자재에 적용하기위한 RFID 시스템의 표준화 및 규격화가 절실하다. 본 논문에서는 건설자재에 RFID를 적용하기 위한 표준화 방향을 제시하는 기초 연구로써 목재, 철재 빔, 도료(안료), 콘크리트, 배관자재(철/동/PE)에 Passive Type의 일반(Pager) 태그, 금속 태그, 액체형 태그를 부착 매립하여 125KHz, 13.56MHz, 900MHz의 주파수 대역과 자재 물성별 인식거리 및 인식률 시험을 진행하여 건설자재에 RFID를 적용하기위한 표준 주파수 대역 및 재질에 따른 적정 태그를 제시하고자 한다.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) identifies a specific object by radio signals. As the tag provides a unique ID for the purpose of identification, RFID technology effectively solves the ambiguity and occlusion problem that challenges the laser or camera-based approach. This paper proposes an approach to track a moving object based on the integration of RFID and laser ranging information using a particle filter. To be precise, we split laser scan points into different clusters which contain the potential moving objects and calculate the radial velocity of each cluster. The velocity information is compared with the radial velocity estimated from RFID phase difference. In order to achieve the positioning of the moving object, we select a number of K best matching clusters to update the weights of the particle filter. To further improve the positioning accuracy, we incorporate RFID signal strength information into the particle filter using a pre-trained sensor model. The proposed approach is tested on a SCITOS service robot under different types of tags and various human velocities. The results show that fusion of signal strength and laser ranging information has significantly increased the positioning accuracy when compared to radial velocity matching-based or signal strength-based approaches. The proposed approach provides a solution for human machine interaction and object tracking, which has potential applications in many fields for example supermarkets, libraries, shopping malls, and exhibitions.

This paper presents methods of robot localization using recent radio frequency identification technology. If the absolute position and orientation of a tag are given in an indoor environment where RFID tags are installed, a robot can estimate its location using the relationship of the identified tag and the robot in a relative coordinate. To derive this relationship, we propose three estimation techniques using a model of a RFID reader, the direction of identification and the detection range. In this algorithm, a suitable estimation method is selected out of the three proposed techniques depending on the situations and trajectory of robot in the detection range. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed methods can provide good performance for localization.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology used to identify the physical objects and get information about the object on which the tag attaches from network. It is expected that RFID will lead IT market from human-oriented to object-oriented. Therefore, RFID technology and services will become wide-spread. But the system of RFID naming service is quite similar to the existing DNS facilities. So it has many weak points against to DDos attack. Furthermore if the MDS server Is under attack, there might be trouble of total RFID networks.In this paper, we propose a new detecting model to find attack traffic at local routers by using Management Information Base (MIB) which is optimized for RFID MDS server.

This research presents a strategy and information system to manage the logistics of delivery ready mixed concrete (RMC) under the integrated environment of PMIS+RFID. PMIS is system tool and technique used in construction sectors to delivery information. Information that can be extracted electronically in real time is more valuable than data gathered and maintained manually. RFID technology can help to improve data accuracy through supply chains and by identifying products and objects at specific points through automatic identification. The objectives of these two implementations can be able to improve the efficiency of logistics management for RMC truck process, and to verify the technical and practical feasibility of PMIS+RFID application in construction industry. This may be realistic given the dynamics of daily activities on construction sites. This research is focused on examples on real world case study, applications and research theme related and connected to PMIS+RFID technology. It demonstrated that PMIS+RFID technology has been automatically implemented and has shown process information about the RMC truck and the overall status information about it, both quickly and accurately. As a result, the construction site where needs 300 $m^3$ pouring (50 RMC trucks) per day can be reduced total 250 minutes. Moreover, this time saving is related to the labour cost saving. From the case studies, RFID+PMIS system was proven in terms of effectiveness rather than current method.

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) will soon become an important technology in various industries. Therefore, security mechanisms for Rm systems are emerging crucial problems in RFID systems. In order to guarantee privacy and security, it is desirable to encrypt the transferred data with a strong crypto algorithm. In this paper, we present the ultra-light weight Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) processor which is suitable for RFID tags. The AES processor requires only 3,992 logic gates and is capable of both 128-bit encryption and decryption. The processor takes 446 clock cycles for encryption of a 128-bit data and 607 clock cycles for decryption. Therefore, it shows 55% improved result in encryption and 40% in decryption from previous cases.
