Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to outline advantages and obstacles of RFID application in informatization of the rail freight transport. Development and improvement in the field of information technologies and automatization are the pillars towards increase of operations and transaction effectiveness in rail freight transport. This research analyzes and describes range of RFID technology application in rail freight transport. Subsequently, we designed the experiment to test a functionality of the RFID system. In order to ensure the reliable results, we used railroad model that reflects infrastructure of the actual railroad together with station interlocking system, line signaling and level crossing systems managed via unified active control place. For experimentation purpose Taguchi design of experiment was applied to analyze the variation of the essential controllable factors. However, it has to be kept in mind that final effect of the experiment depends on a level of physical resemblance between inputs and reality.
