In location applications, the RFID equipment is used to identify an ID-tag which is fixed to the train or wagon in order to know when it is passing a particular position. The reader is positioned at the side of the track or between the rails on the sleeper. Typical applications include providing track side systems with the location of each carriage or wagon as it passes the reader. These systems include track-side systems for passenger information, condition monitoring and track-n-trace fleet management systems. Location systems are applicable to all types of transportation and for freight and passenger systems.
