Disasters such as fires, earthquakes, and acts of terror in public places such as subway stations, airports, and department stores can lead to tragic consequences. Although a number of studies are being conducted on indoor location recognition systems, they are not appropriate for emergency rescue evacuation support system (ERESS), which requires building new infrastructures in the indoor environment of all public buildings. This paper proposes an RFID-based indoor location recognition system for the ERESS. The proposed indoor location recognition system uses RFID readers and active tags to collect position coordinates in real time, allowing a single tag to monitor actual locations. Performance evaluation based on experiments indicates that the proposed indoor location recognition system is effective for monitoring indoor pedestrians in ERESS applications.
