Location Detection Technologies (Electronic Identification)

Abstract

Real-Time Locating Systems (RTLS), also known as real time tracking systems are used to automatically identify and track the location of objects or people in real time, usually within a building or other contained area. Many people are becoming more aware of privacy issues that emanate from wide spread use of GPS enabled or similar systems. On the other, in absence of GPS systems emergency help is of great importance as location detection becomes not so easy. Thus, there is a need for location detection technique or a solution that not only helps in detecting location but relieves the person of the privacy concern.
