AUTOMATION MONITORING OF RAILWAY TRANSIT BY USING RFID TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Aim of this paper is presented the possibility of using RFID technology by railway transport monitoring. First part of the article describes a comprehensive system for the application of RFID technology in the environment of Slovak railways. Second part of the paper describes the principle of information system and design of the electronic way-bill. The big problem is related to railway transit, where problem is in the transferring many information, e.g. waybill, technical condition of the wagon, date of the maintenance and repairs, etc. So, there is a possibility of using RFID technology. If we want to introduce RFID technology, it is necessary to create the entire concept of automatic data collection; this can determine the tracking location of wagons and collecting information about the car.
