Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and wireless sensor networks are wireless technologies that rapidly emerge and show great potential. Combining RFID and wireless sensor networks provides a cost-efficient way to expand the RFID system's range and to enable an RFID system in areas without a network infrastructure. These two technologies are employed to build a wireless localization system in a children's theme park. The main purpose of this child localization system is to track and locate children within a certain range near some landmarks in the park. The design experience in this project can be exported to other applications such as object tracking and surveillance.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a self-organizing network consisting of a large number of sensor nodes interacting with the physical world. Localization of sensor nodes is an essential issue in WSNs. RSSI-based localization can be implemented conveniently, in addition this technology is cost-efficient and power-efficient in practice. However, limited attention has been paid to underground tunnels environments. In this paper, we present an experimental study of RSSI-based localization in underground tunnels. The sensor nodes used are specially designed based on a 2.4GHz low power radio chipset CC2430 for ZigBee. Experimental results confirm the applicability of RSSI-based localization in underground tunnels.
