Application of Radio Frequency Identification for Museum Environment
Recently, Information and Communication Technologies
provided a significant support to the communication
activities of cultural heritage centers. In particular, Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) is a promising solution to improve
both object inventory and visitor guide applications in museums.
However, due to the indoor propagation environment, it is
necessary to properly characterize the RFID system behavior
to ensure the correct functioning of RFID applications.
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a RFID system for
cultural heritage applications. We consider that museum visitors
are endowed with RFID Readers able to detect RFID Tags storing
the appropriate artwork description. We carry out various tests
aimed at assessing the capability of the system to support visitors
in real environmental conditions. The obtained results can be useful for system dimensioning and deployment
