Abstract-- This paper describes the design of an RFID Kids
Tracking System. It is designed to track a moving child in a wide
area, such as a park or mall, using RFID technology. The
proposed system has hardware and software components. The
hardware architecture consists of an RFID active tag, RFID tag
reader, web server and database server. The web server and
database server are located in the master station. The tag readers
are distributed around the open area, e.g. park. The tags are
programmed with kid's profiles and are worn by the kids.
Communication between the tag reader and the web server is
done via wireless LANs. The software architecture consists of a
communication driver that handles all communication functions
done at the master station, an Application Programming
Interface (API) that handles and analyzes the data, a friendly
GUI and a database that saves all readings and client
