RFID and GSM Technology Building Intelligent Relief Supplies Distribution and Monitoring System

Abstract

Taking advantage of the technology of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the radio frequency identification (RFID) and global system for mobile communication(GSM), this paper constructs a wireless communication and intelligent application system. WSNs combines with RFID system collect basic materials property data, materials environmental data perceived by all kinds of sensors and materials coordinate information by satellite and global position system (GPS). The information processing subsystem uses this real-time data transmitted by GSM to make intelligent control and decision support to the whole process of materials dispatching, therefore, relief supplies are send to all the settlements in time and with high quality. The whole intelligent system tackles the defects of the traditional disaster relief supplies dispatching and managing system such as non-intelligent data collection, non-real-time monitoring during the material transport processes and poor real-time scheduling.
