This chapter describes potential roles of trust in future aviation information systems. The next-generation air transportation systems are envisioned to be a highly networked environment with aircraft digitally linked with ground systems and wireless technologies allowing real-time continuous sensing, collection and distribution of aircraft information assets. The resulting enhancements promise to revolutionize manufacturing, operation and maintenance of commercial airplanes. Safe and dependable aircraft operation as well as public well-being in these complex system-of-systems with multiple stakeholders, demands that the distributed information assets can be trusted to be correct and that the level of trustworthiness in systems can be established. This chapter considers two recent abstractions of such aviation systems – an electronic distribution system connecting aircraft with ground components for exchanging updates and data of onboard software, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) system for logistics and maintenance of aircraft – which use digital certificates to establish trust in integrity and authenticity of information assets as well as in authorized components handling these assets. The chapter presents unique challenges of aviation, such as regulations and business models, which can complicate implementation of certificate-based trust and further warrant trustworthiness proofs.

As many people are concerned about sustainable urban transportation systems, Travel Demand Management (TDM) is getting more attention as a viable option to reduce automobile dependency on an efficient way. Especially, voluntary participation-based TDM by offering incentives has been applied in many cities in recent years. The city of Seoul with 10 million population is offering incentives including an annual vehicle tax discount to increase the participation of Weekly No-driving Day (WND) program, a voluntary TDM program encouraging drivers to leave their cars home at least one weekday a week. The compliance of the program rule is monitored by Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems. In this study, to check the efficiency of the RFID monitoring system, the flow capturing location model is utilized to evaluate the adequateness of the RFID reader locations. Also, this paper proposes an optimal detection rate for the WND program based on economic evaluation results in consideration of costs and benefits of the program.

The Internet of things and its (IoT) application become more and more effective in various fields of our life. It provides many tangible and intangible advantages. The success of (IoT) Applications required many complimentary dimensions like the enhancements of needed technologies, developing appropriate business models in addition to the security issues. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is one of the widely used technology that belong to IoT family. This paper will introduce a concept model which is performed in Saudi Arabia, and it can be applied in another country as well. Country’s specific requirements regarding legal issues and the use of IoT applications and technologies are taken into consideration, too. This idea is about Smart streets where reader for speed data is used from RFID chip placed in vehicles in order to control the speeds instead of the widely used camera system to increase the safety.

Protecting and securing the pharmaceutical supply channel requires constant vigilance in cooperation with all partners in the channel: the manufacturer, the distributor, and the pharmacy as well as state and federal legislators and regulatory agencies. No one approach can protect and secure; rather, the pharmaceutical industry as a whole needs to adopt a combination of approaches to ensure the safety and integrity of the supply channel. Right now, the most secure way to ensure product integrity and patient safety is through a primary distribution system, also referred to as normal distribution. Primary distribution involves the movement of pharmaceuticals from the manufacturer to the wholesale distributor to the pharmacy. Going forward, some new technologies offer great promise. The industry needs to address all technology solutions, from secure product packaging to tracking techniques such as tags, holograms, and ultimately radio frequency identification. All of these begin with the manufacturer, require wholesaler involvement, and rely on the pharmacy. The movement of product must be secure and the highest level of vigilance maintained.

Visualization, accuracy and timeliness are the main trends of the supply chain. How combine the information technology and radio frequency identification technology is the next one of the difficulties of aircraft supply chain development in the world. In view of those problems such as geographical dispersion of the current aircraft manufacturing enterprises, and their supply chain too long and difficult to visualization,based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and information technology, a solution of distributed information systems for aircraft supply chain management is proposed, the system architecture and function modules are designed, the key problems for the system development are pointed out.

Recently, radio frequency identification (RFID) is being explored as a technology to be used in supply chain management. The use of RFID in the supply chain is an emerging technology that has attracted a lot of attention in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Major retailers in various continents have given mandates to their suppliers to adopt the technology in order to continue business with them. As a result, there appears to be a shift in power dependency in the supply chain. This has had an impact on how the suppliers adopt RFID to embrace the mandates. The impact is likely to have a long term effect on current business models. Our study into the existing literature reveals three tiers of the effects of mandates. The effects are best examined by separating out the suppliers into two groups: suppliers adopting the technology under the mandates and suppliers not affected by the mandates and adopted a wait-and-see tactic. Moore’s Technology Adoption Life Cycle is used to highlight the chasm between these groups and the early adopters. The objectives of this paper are: (1) to show managers the effects RFID/SC may have on their business models, and (2) to identify possible research areas within the RFID field.

This qualitative case study features SteadyServ, a beer inventory monitoring solution vendor, and its internet of things (IOT)-based radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled technology solution. IOT-based information technology systems are powering new business models and innovative cloud-supported solutions addressing use cases in many industries. At this early stage, IOT is taking off in monitoring premises, products, supply chains, and customers. Content analysis of primary and secondary data was used to interpret this firm's RFID-enabled IOT solution's deployment at the firm's customer sites. Two theoretical frameworks were used in the attempt to understand the IT solution experiences of customer firms: socio-technical systems theory and affordances theory.
