Abstract:

This circular summarizes the conference, Research Opportunities in Radio Frequency Identification Transportation Applications, which was held October 17-18, 2006, in Washington, D.C. This conference focused on current and future research on radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies in transportation applications, which include the tagging of containers, pallets, individual packages, and building equipment and components; vehicle collision avoidance; electronic preclearance of vehicles and individuals through security checkpoints; and electronic toll collection. The conference was a unique opportunity to create a more focused research agenda for transportation applications of RFID technology. Conference objectives were to: inform government transportation agencies about current and potential RFID applications that have the potential to enhance the mobility of freight and people; increase communication among researchers involved in RFID technology applications for transportation; give government program managers a better understanding of University Transportation Centers (UTC) programs and link those program managers interested in RFID applications with university experts; and identify RFID research opportunities. An appendix contains research problem statements developed by conference participants.
