Application of Tracking Technology to Access-Control System

Overview An access-control system that applies tracking technology to control the movement of people and goods inside buildings has been developed. This system - whose key components are a newly developed, ultralow-power-consumption infrared transmitter/receiver and a weak-radio-wave RFID (radio-frequency identification) tag that can handle infrared and RFID signals at the same time - can precisely detect the passage direction of each tag carried by individual people or fixed to items moving in a line. With the aim of promoting new physical-security technologies that have been unavailable till now, the current paper first overviews the main features of the system and then describes two examples of its implementation.
