| Support: | P.O.R 2000-2006 (Misure 3.16 e 3.7; D.M. 593/2000, Art. 13) - Italian Ministry of Research - Italian Ministry of Economy, Calabria Regional Government |
| Main Research Objectives: | This is an industrial research project focusing on the management, analysis and optimization of flows characterizing Automobile distribution within the distribution hubs and across the whole Logistic chain. Specifically, the research interest is on automobile tracking and localization through the adoption of RFID technologies and on the related automatic data acquisition and transfer methodologies to the aim of: (i) analyzing novel anti-collision protocol for RFID tag; (ii) designing mobile gateway with local short-range interfaces (Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth) towards RFID readers and long-range interface (GPRS, WiMax, UMTS) towards the main servers; (iii) handling multihop access techniques for hostile areas where direct visibility between transmitter and receiver is lacking; (iv) designing gateway discovery techniques to discover optimal access point to desired logistic services. |
