Design and Implementation of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Prevention System using RTLS

Abstract In this paper, we propose a foot-and-mouth disease prevention system using the RTLS technology and A* algorithm-based optimal path search method to avoid foot-and-mouth disease areas. The main features and contributions of the proposed system are as follows. First, the proposed system is developed based on active-tag for identifying status and location informatiom of livestock. Second, the system is newly designed based on A* algorithm for supporting optimal path search services. The performance evaluation of the proposed system is performed via simulation. The results of performance evaluation show that the proposed system can efficiently support the optimal path search services.
