The studies on Horizontal Coverage Pattern (HCP) for Bus Detection Devices (BDD)

This paper introduces the studies on Horizontal Coverage Pattern (HCP) for Bus Detection Devices (BDD). BDD is a device which functions to assist blind people in detecting bus at the bus stop. The prototype of BDD was developed using RFID technology which consists of RFID reader, UHF passive tags and computer. Various testing and experiment have been done to improve the functionality of the device developed. One of them is a Horizontal coverage pattern test which been conducted to determine the coverage area covered by different type of UHF passive tags. The Rectangular Coverage Pattern (RCP) also has been introduced in this paper. The discussion on analysis made also describe in this paper. The significant result may improve the quality of research developed.
