A new model for evaluation of RFID utilization in various ports of the world

Port´s container transportation is facing an increasing number of problems. In order to deal with these problems, innovative technological solution are becoming one of the most important steps to control quality of services and manage port´s processes that aim at customer satisfaction. RFID technology is a flexible solution which triumphs over current limits of other technologies in ports. Using this technology will cause improvement in control, management and operational procedures and will help port´s customers to access more relevant services. In this viewpoint paper a roadmap for adopting the innovation technology in ports is presented, based on the roadmap to assess RFID usage in different world ports, this paper identifies the influencing factors and proposes a model for evaluating and comparing them.
