Automated parking systems play an important role in improving the utilization of parking facilities, particularly in busy public areas that receive many visitors, such as airports, government buildings, and shopping malls. The current parking facilities of airports in Saudi Arabia use barrier gates and ticket-issuing machines. Such parking facilities increase the waiting time at every circulation point, especially at the entry and exit terminals, and when a large number of vehicles are waiting in the queue. In this study, we address this problem by applying an automated technology at the entry/exit terminals of the current parking facilities. In particular, we introduce a parking system that uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for the entry and exit terminals. The basic components of the current entry/exit system and the proposed one (i.e., using RFID technology) are described in detail. Subsequently, a simulation model for the entry/exit system using Arena 14.7 is developed to evaluate the current and proposed entry/exit systems. The evaluation is based on two performance metrics: average waiting time and average number of waiting vehicles. The developed simulation model is validated using actual data through a systematic procedure. The outcome of this study shows that the proposed RFID-based entry/exit system significantly outperforms the current system. Similarly, the validated results confirm the robustness of the simulation model. Thus, it can be concluded that an RFID-based parking system will provide an effective solution for parking facilities.

In the current scenario, parking has become a major issue as there is space, money and manual work related issues associated with it. Though the advancements in technology have brought parking facilities the way we see today, these limitations are yet to be overcome.  We find it difficult to find a parking slot during peak traffic times. Payment is also difficult as it is manually done; payment is not fully automatic as it involves direct payment of cash or coin. Also, it involves payment for a fixed amount of time which might not ensure full utilization of money spent in case of leaving before the estimated time. In this project, an attempt has been made to overcome the problems encountered in the present paid parking system through RFID technology.

The increasing number of motorcycles in Indonesia creates enormous problems because of the hectic involved; thus, parking management becomes a big challenge. The applicability and the possibility of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) were studied in finding the solution of this pressing issue. The study was conducted at Narotama University which is located in Surabaya, East Java. This study was expected to find solutions related to provide parking facilities using RFID method to identify motorcycles. The goal of this study is to determine the number of motorcycle vehicles which is being parked electronically to facilitate the management in organizing motorcycle in parking facilities. Hence, the management can arrange the requirement of parking system in the future. From the study, it can be concluded that RFID can make the process faster and easier so that the line can significantly be reduced and provide more user friendly system because the system will give the information about parking availability. Moreover, this RFID parking system and the software can be more reliable and secured due to more complete and accurate data in the registration process required to the users.

An RFID technology facilitates the work of different industries, it's used widely in many applications, like in the banking system. Banks are trying to give better services to their customers by using modern technologies. This paper presents the identification of persons (customers, employees) in a BANK and to utilize the simulation of this technology in order to make an electronic banking system more useful. Our system splits into two parts. The first is concerned about the customer by giving RFID tag attached to a checkbook, the second part is concerned about the employees by giving RFID tags attached to Identification Card (IDC). These tags are scanned by readers when entering the bank and processing of their information is performed in order to identify, track, monitor, verify, and give more satisfying services to customers such as reduction of waiting time, ability to bring security, accuracy and integrity of the banking systems of the country by accelerating most of the banking works by using electronic infrastructures without disturbance for special customers.

This article discusses the topic of labeling postal shipments by passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Every delivery company needs to have all necessary information for every single postal shipment package it carries. Shipment package labeling is essential for processing and tracking the postal shipments along its delivery process. Using RFID technology for the process brings advantages in more efficient delivery and data collection along with regular information updates of shipment status across complete delivery chain.In this article, we focused on the problem of logical log of key shipment package information into EPC memory of the RFID smart label. We have taken into account the National postal administrator and its current system of shipment labeling. In the end, we presented a design for conversion of contemporary labeling using bar codes into labeling using RFID tags.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is widely used in various applications such as attendance system, tracking system, monitoring system or parking system. Currently, the existing parking system used manual entrance through security guard to access the premise. Therefore, the company need to hire security guard to monitor the premise. In addition, the security guards need to monitor all movement of vehicle or person that enter or leave the premise. As a result, unauthorized vehicle or person can easily access the building. To address this problem, we proposed a parking system using RFID technology that can monitor vehicle’s movement that enter or leave the specific area or place by scanning the RFID tag. The potential benefit is it can improve security for both security guards and users. Besides that, this parking system can facilitate access control for users and improve traffic flow during peaks period. There are five modules in the proposed parking systems which are user registration, vehicle registration, RFID tag, staff and report generation.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has gained great popularity with an aim to measure vital signs and gain patient related information in clinics. RPM can be achieved with noninvasive digital technology without hindering a patient’s daily activities and can enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery in acute clinical settings. In this study, an RPM system was built using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for early detection of suicidal behaviour in a hospital-based mental health facility. A range of machine learning models such as Linear Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and XGBoost were investigated to help determine the optimum fixed positions of RFID reader–antennas in a simulated hospital ward. Empirical experiments showed that Decision Tree had the best performance compared to Random Forest and XGBoost models. An Ensemble Learning model was also developed, took advantage of these machine learning models based on their individual performance. The research set a path to analyse dynamic moving RFID tags and builds an RPM system to help retrieve patient vital signs such as heart rate, pulse rate, respiration rate and subtle motions to make this research state-of-the-art in terms of managing acute suicidal and self-harm behaviour in a mental health ward.

The paper focuses on the environmental burden created by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in the Slovak Republic (SR). In order to determine the burden there, a model example was created to calculate electronic waste produced by households in the SR by placing RFID tags into municipal waste. The paper presents a legislative regulatory approach towards the environmental impacts from using RFID tags in the SR, as well as an analysis of the environmental burden of using RFID tags throughout the world. The core of the paper is focused on the research conducted in order to calculate the environmental burden of a model household in the SR, where the number of used RFID tags per year was observed; then, the volume of e-waste produced by households of the Slovak Republic per year was determined. In the conclusion, we provide the results of the research presented and discuss including our own proposal for solving the problems connected with the environmental burden of RFID technology.
