초록

RFID 기술은 리더와 태그( Tag)라는 장치를 이용하여 정보를 인식하는 기술로 현재 대중교통 및 고속도로 하이패스 등에 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 기술을 응용해 실내에서 물체의 위치를 추적하는 시스템을 설계하고자 한다. 대표적인 위치추적 시스템인 GPS는 비가 오거나 실내 공간 또는 지하에서는 효율이 좋지 않고 오차가 커지는 단점이 있다. 제안된 RFID 실험은 실내에서 배치된 물체의 이동에 따른 신호의 변화를 시뮬레이션 하고 실제 실험과 비교하여 위치추적에 필요한 데이터를 산출한 후 그 데이터를 근거로 이동경로와 오차를 분석하여 향후 추적시스템에 필요한 자료를 제공한다. 위치 추적에 필요한 시뮬레이션은 실제 물체의 이동 경로를 분석하여 수행하였고 실제 실험에서는 RFID 기술을 이용하여 실내 곳곳에 리더를 설치한 환경에서 위치를 알고자 하는 물체에 태그를 장착시키고 이동시킨 후 실험 장비에서 얻어낸 데이터를 분석하였다. 본 논문에서는 획득한 데이터를 분석하여 향후 실내 위치 추적이 필요한 시스템에 활용될 수 있도록 관련 분석값을 제시하였다. RFID를 통한 위치 파악 데이터는 위치에 따른 태그 판별 결과를 보여주며 분석된 데이터는 추후 실내 위치 파악 연구에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

RFID technology is a technology perceiving information with the device called reader and tag which is now used in public transportation such as Hi-pass. In this paper, we design a system which tracks indoor location using this technology. GPS, the most frequently used location-tracking system, has a defect that its accuracy decreases when the device is indoor. In suggested experiment, we simulate signals according to the moving of located objects, then compare with the result of the experiment. Based on the extracted data, we inform data which is for the purpose of tracking system based on analysis of the route and errors. Simulations for the tracking were performed with relocation of real objects. In the real experiment, we arrange the readers around the room and move the tagged object that we like to know the location, then analyze the data from the equipment. This paper suggests the analyzed data for the future indoor tag tracking applications. We expect that the RFID based location positioning data will be used for other indoor positioning research and development.
