Abstract
A method and system forecasting the location of a mobile object in a network by utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The network consists of a plurality of nodes connected with each other, at lease one RFID reader having a monitoring range is disposed at each node of the network and at least one RFID tag is physically attached to the mobile object. The method includes the steps of generating a record data related to the mobile object when the mobile object moves within the monitoring range of an RFID reader disposed at a node and statistically processing the record data to estimate the location of the mobile object.
