RFID marathon timing system

摘要

The purpose of this study is to develop an application named RFID Marathon Timing System by using radio frequency identification device (RFID).RFID is a wireless non- contact technology that using radio frequency electromagnetic fields to transfers data from a tag attached to an object,for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking.In marathon competition,it is impossible to get accurate stopwatch readings for every entrant and display the result immediately.In this thesis,RFID Marathon Timing System is used to tracking the timing for each participant of marathon competition and display the result of each participant immediately. This system is developed by using Rapid Application Development methodology.First is compare and analyzes the RFID Marathon Timing System and the conventional timing system by compare the functions and operation.Next is design the structure and flow of RFID Marathon Timing System.RFID Marathon Timing System is analyzing in detail by its features and operations.Next is the development phase,RFID Marathon Timing System is developed and tested.Results of this RFID Marathon Timing System are it able to capture the timing of each participant and able to display result of each participant when they crossing the finish line.Furthermore,the result also showed that this RFID Marathon Timing System could be used as an alternative timing system for bicycle racing,triathlon and so on.
