Inland river ship supervision system based on ZigBee and RFID technology

In view of the current conditions that the network of rivers and the inland waterway in southeast coastal area are dense and numerous, a kind of inland ship monitoring system based on ZigBee networking system and RFID recognition technology is proposed by the author. Several advantages of nRF24LE1 SCM are given full play in this system, such as good anti-interference capability, high transmission stability and bulk-storage memory. By the high speed communication between the ZigBee network system and monitoring center, and also through the advantage of infinite extension of ZigBee network, several inland river ways can be covered. Many functions of inland river ways such as ship positioning and ship control are achieved through the comprehensive utilizations of RFID and ZigBee technology. The hardware management scheme of this system and the design flow of RFID and other related programs are described in detail in this paper.
