Wireless ad-hoc RFID tracking system

A tracking system comprising:

• at least two tracking stations, each of the tracking stations comprising:
• a processor;
• a datastore containing a database of unique identifier information;
• a wireless network adapter capable of operating in a wireless ad-hoc network;
• and
• a radio frequency identification scanning device coupled to the processor and responsive to a RFID tag for determining the presence of said RFID tag within a predetermined area;
• wherein the processor compares a unique identifier associated with the RFID tag with a database of unique identifiers stored at the tracking station;
• wherein the wireless network adaptor wirelessly transmits the unique identifier to at least a second one of the tracking stations;
• and
• wherein the processor determines a predicted transit scenario for an entity possessing the unique identifier and selectively identifies at least the second one of the tracking stations to which the unique identifier is transmitted based on the predicted transit scenario.
