Introduction of RFID System into Transport and Defining its Model of Return on Investment

Abstract:

The article deals with the introduction of RFID technology to the broad gauge railway transportation. Interest in RFID technology is growing not only in the world but also in Slovakia so article is focused on the proposal on the transport of Fiat, where RFID system would be implemented for shipment of containers that are transported through Combined Transport Terminal Dobrá farther to the Russian market. Model calculation of return shows an interesting profitability and return on investment. In addition, the containers could be observed in real time, which is obviously a great advantage that the implementation of RFID technology provides.
