Human Tracker System: RFID Simulator

This report is prepared to provide an overview ofideas for the Final Year project titled
'Human Tracker System at Oil Refinery: Using Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID)'. Certain area in the refinery is critical and full of hazards. Due to that,
personnel movements need to be monitored so that we are able to detect the real-time
position of the personnel. There are two objectives of this project; first, to perform a
study on how to coordinate and locate the movement of personnel at the refinery area
using RFID technology. Second, to develop aRFID simulator that can view personnel's
location via a digital map in a form of web base. This project explores how to detect the
personnel movement in the building by using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
system. Apart from that, a map-matching technology will also be proposed. This system
will be developed using Waterfall Development Methodology. This methodology is a
sequential software development model in which development is seen as flowing
progressively downwards phase by phase. Along the duration ofthe project, a study will
be conducted onRFID system, digital-map and on how to coordinate the location. This
system will be runping on Windows operating system and will be tested at Building 2,
Academic Complex of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.
