26
Q

RFID reader (RFID interrogator)

A

A transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the area.

27
Q

RFID tag

A

An electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna.

28
Q

passive RFID tags

A

Do not have a power source.

29
Q

active RFID tags

A

Have their own transmitter and a power source (typically a battery).

30
Q

semi-passive RFID tags

A

Include a battery to run the microchip’s circuitry, but communicate by drawing power from the RFID reader.

31

A

Occurs when a company places active or semipassive RFID tags on expensive products or assets to gather data on the items’ location with little or no manual intervention.

32
Q

RFID accelerometer

A

A device that measures the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of an item and is used to track truck speeds or taxi cab speeds.

33
Q

Q

cartography

A

The science and art of making an illustrated map or chart.

44
Q

edge matching (warping, rubber sheeting)

A

Occurs when paper maps are laid edge to edge, and items that run across maps but do not match are reconfigured to match.

45
Q

GIS map automation

A

Links business assets to a centralized system where they can be tracked and monitored over time.

46
Q

spatial data (geospatial data or geographic information)

A

Identifies the geographic location of features and boundaries on Earth, such as natural or constructed features, oceans, and more.

47
Q

geocoding

A

Spatial databases in a coding process that takes a digital map feature and assigns it an attribute that serves as a unique ID (tract number, node number) or classification (soil type, zoning category).

48
Q
