Abstract:
This paper surveys the applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in incident management to improve the accurate resource tracking and tracing functionalities in disaster situations. The paper started with an initial discussion on what the possible goals working with the active RFID kit (FFID Reader + RFID Tags), to provide a solution to monitor an object for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Afterwards, Incident Management and its role in specifying the response process and resource management from the Network Centric approach will be determined with an applied approach. It is concluded that what would be the process of monitoring at any time for Dynamic Information Collection to provide a real-time scalable decision support framework built on rapid information collection using RFID technology.
