Abstract
Determining the location of floating or partially submerged objects during an extreme hydrodynamic event is an important task the investigation of impact loading resulting from debris impacts. This study investigates the application of a novel tracking system which is based on the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and exploits the measured angles of arrival and time of arrival of radio waves used to locate an object in space. The system is deployed in a carefully controlled laboratory environment to analyze the performance and accuracy of the system. The standard error and standard deviation are used as metrics for the system's performance. During testing, the system is subjected to linear and oscillatory motions. Good accuracy and repeatability is found for the tests conducted; however, a number of factors can compromise its accuracy and precision, such as a cluttered environment exhibiting solid obstacles, protruding walls or other disturbing items in the tracking area. In hydraulic and coastal engineering, this RFID technology has significant potential for use in laboratory investigations involving not only the tracking of debris but also in tracking the elements of the coastal structures' armor layers and also for locating and recording of vessel motions.
