Product Description Summary & Evaluation Draft 3

Radio-Frequency Identification Tracking According to the website "RFID INSIDER: TRACKING THE RFID INDUSTRY", Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) uses electronic tags to store and broadcast data. It also gives a unique identification to any tagged objects. The RFID system includes a RFID tag and reader. The RFID system can be differentiated into two types, active and passive. The active RFID tag must be powered with a battery but is able to transmit signals continuously and accurately to track users' real-time location and data. The passive RFID tag does not require battery and can transmit signals but needs to be powered by electromagnetic energy transmitted from an RFID reader. RFID technology allows us to access a database of information about the driver and passenger of our vehicles. An RFID reader gathers data from multiple RFID tags at an instance, allowing the collection of data by the masses to be possible. As the tags are electronically identified, they can ...
