Abstract :
Container transportation plays an important role in modern transportation owing to its characteristics of high efficiency, convenience and safety. The informationization of container transportation management has become a necessary development of the container transportation. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a useful technology to improve container transportation efficiency, safety and visibility. In this paper, RFID technology is briefly introduced at the beginning. Then, RFID application in container transportation management is mainly discussed based on a port container vehicle management case and instances. At the end, analysis of two kinds of chances, including standards of RFID system and utilization cost, are presented.
