Abstract:
Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is adopted to identify various objects in our real life. Key advantages of RFID system are to identify objects without physical contact, and to write arbitrary information into the tags. We believe that these advantages can improve safety and efficiency of maritime activities. However, RFID adoption of maritime activities has not been considered in previous works. It is not cleared whether a generic RFID system can be adopted for maritime activities because the system is assumed to use in a stable environment such as indoors. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of adoption of a generic RFID system for maritime activities. For our motivation, we evaluate the performance of RFID system on the sea by measuring Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of RFID system between ships.
