<p>A <b>tracking system</b> or <b>locating system</b> is used for <a href="Surveillance" title="Surveillance">tracking</a> persons or objects that do not stay in a fixed location, and supplying a time-ordered sequence of positions (track).
</p>
<meta property="mw:PageProp/toc">
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Applications">Applications</h2></div>
<p>A myriad of tracking systems exist. Some are 'lag time' indicators, that is, the data is collected after an item has passed a point for example, a <a href="Bar_code" class="mw-redirect" title="Bar code">bar code</a> or choke point or gate.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Others are 'real-time' or 'near real-time' like <a href="Global_Positioning_System" title="Global Positioning System">Global Positioning Systems</a> (GPS) depending on how often the data is refreshed. There are bar-code systems which require items to be scanned and other which have <a href="Automatic_identification_and_data_capture" title="Automatic identification and data capture">automatic identification</a> (<a href="RFID" class="mw-redirect" title="RFID">RFID</a> auto-id). For the most part, the tracking worlds are composed of discrete hardware and software systems for different applications. That is, bar-code systems are separate from <a href="Electronic_Product_Code" title="Electronic Product Code">Electronic Product Code</a> (EPC) systems and GPS systems are separate from active real time locating systems or <a href="Real-time_locating" class="mw-redirect" title="Real-time locating">RTLS</a>. For example, a passive RFID system would be used in a warehouse to scan the boxes as they are loaded on a truck - then the truck itself is tracked on a different system using GPS with its own features and software.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The major technology “silos” in the supply chain are:
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Distribution/warehousing/manufacturing">Distribution/warehousing/manufacturing</h3></div>
<p>Indoors assets are <a href="Asset_tracking" title="Asset tracking">tracked</a> repetitively reading e.g. a barcode,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> any passive and active <a href="RFID" class="mw-redirect" title="RFID">RFID</a>, then, feeding read data into Work in Progress models (WIP) or Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) or ERP software. The readers required per choke point are meshed auto-ID or hand-held ID applications.
</p><p>However, tracking could also be capable of providing data monitoring without being bound to a fixed location by using a cooperative tracking capability such as an <a href="Real-time_locating_system" title="Real-time locating system">RTLS</a>.

Yard Management Systems (YMS) couple location data collected by RFID and GPS systems to help supply chain managers to optimize utilization of yard assets such as trailers and dock doors. YMS systems can use either active or passive RFID tags.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fleet_management">Fleet management</h3></div>
<p><a href="Fleet_management" title="Fleet management">Fleet management</a> is applied as a <a href="GPS_tracking" class="mw-redirect" title="GPS tracking">tracking application using GPS</a> and composing tracks from subsequent vehicle's positions. Each vehicle to be tracked is equipped with a GPS receiver and relays the obtained coordinates via <a href="Cellular_network" title="Cellular network">cellular</a> or <a href="Satellite_network" class="mw-redirect" title="Satellite network">satellite networks</a> to a home station.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Fleet management is required by:
</p>
<ul><li>Large fleet operators, (vehicle/railcars/trucking/shipping)</li>
<li>Forwarding operators (containers, machines, heavy cargo, valuable shippings)</li>
<li>Operators who have high equipment and/or cargo/product costs</li>
<li>Operators who have a dynamic workload</li></ul>

<p>Person tracking relies on <a href="Unique_identifier" title="Unique identifier">unique identifiers</a> that are temporarily (<a href="RFID" class="mw-redirect" title="RFID">RFID</a> tags) or permanently assigned to persons like <a href="Personal_identifier" title="Personal identifier">personal identifiers</a> (including <a href="Biometric" class="mw-redirect" title="Biometric">biometric</a> identifiers), or <a href="National_identification_number" title="National identification number">national identification numbers</a> and a way to sample their positions, either on short temporal scales as through GPS or for <a href="Public_administration" title="Public administration">public administration</a> to keep track of a state's <a href="Citizen" class="mw-redirect" title="Citizen">citizens</a> or <a href="Temporary_resident" title="Temporary resident">temporary residents</a>.

<p><a href="Location-based_services" class="mw-redirect" title="Location-based services">Location-based services</a> (LBS) utilise a combination of <a href="A-GPS" class="mw-redirect" title="A-GPS">A-GPS</a>, newer GPS and cellular locating technology that is derived from the <a href="Telematics" title="Telematics">telematics</a> and telecom world. <a href="Line-of-sight_propagation" title="Line-of-sight propagation">Line of sight</a> is not necessarily required for a location fix. This is a significant advantage in certain applications since a GPS signal can still be lost indoors. As such, A-GPS enabled cell phones and <a href="Personal_digital_assistant" title="Personal digital assistant">PDAs</a> can be located indoors and the handset may be tracked more precisely. This enables non-vehicle centric applications and can bridge the <a href="Indoor_location" class="mw-redirect" title="Indoor location">indoor location</a> gap, typically the domain of <a href="RFID" class="mw-redirect" title="RFID">RFID</a> and <a href="Real-time_locating_system" title="Real-time locating system">Real-time locating system</a> (RTLS) systems, with an off the shelf cellular device.
</p><p>Currently, A-GPS enabled handsets are still highly dependent on the LBS carrier system, so handset device choice and application requirements are still not apparent. Enterprise system integrators need the skills and knowledge to correctly choose the pieces that will fit the application and geography.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Research">Research</h3></div>
<p>In the life sciences, animal tracking leverages a range of technologies to gather time-resolved data on animal identities, movement, and other behaviors in both wild and controlled environments with minimal human interference. For example, GPS telemetry systems log an animal's location at regular intervals locally<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>, while satellite tags transmit location data remotely<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. Acoustic tags that communicate with underwater receiver arrays enable passive or active tracking of marine animals<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. RFID tags also enable contactless identification and behavioral monitoring<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. For smaller species, including social insects, barcode-based tracking systems allow automated identification and monitoring of hundreds of individuals simultaneously<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>. These technologies vary in spatial and temporal resolution, data volume and handling, energy requirements, and operational range, but have in common that they enable scalable, long-term monitoring of animal movement across diverse environments and biological scales.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Operational_requirements">Operational requirements</h2></div>

<p>Regardless of the tracking technology, for the most part, the end-users just want to locate themselves or wish to find points of interest. The reality is that there is no "one size fits all" solution with locating technology for all conditions and applications.
</p><p>Application of tracking is a substantial basis for <a href="Vehicle_tracking" class="mw-redirect" title="Vehicle tracking">vehicle tracking</a> in fleet management, <a href="Asset_management" title="Asset management">asset management</a>, individual navigation, social networking, or mobile resource management and more.

<p>In <a href="Virtual_space" class="mw-redirect" title="Virtual space">virtual space</a> technology, a tracking system is generally a system capable of rendering virtual space to a human observer while tracking the observer's <a href="Coordinates" class="mw-redirect" title="Coordinates">coordinates</a>. For instance, in dynamic <a href="Virtual_auditory_space" class="mw-redirect" title="Virtual auditory space">virtual auditory space</a> simulations, a head tracker provides information to a central processor in real time and this enables the processor to select what functions are necessary to give feedback to the user in relation to where they are positioned.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Furthermore, the system can track the children over a two square mile area surrounding their school. If a child walks off their path or does not make it to school on time, the centralized system automatically sends an e-mail or text message to the child's parents. ...
