An RFID testing system for identification and sorting of airport luggage

This thesis is a presentation of a experimental baggage sorting system based on RFID technology. The system was tested in the laboratory and in sorting facility B, located at the Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport. The system reads data from RFID tags which mark baggage and associates it with data in the database. This data is then displayed on the screen in the sorting facility and the system sorts baggage with the aid of an operator. Included in this publication is a presentation of RFID technology, its development and its uses today. Also described are application's development, its operation, environment requirements and testing procedures. The application was developed with the product Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and is written in the programming language C#. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express was chosen as the database. The thesis is concluded with a few ideas for upgrading and enhancing the created system
