%X Basically used for contactless identification, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology was originallythought as a complement for the drawbacks of the Barcode. Due to its capabilities and on-going drop in cost,researchers have started to look into other areas where RFID can be employed. One such area of research isReal-Time Location Tracking (RTLT), especially for indoor environments. While technologies such as Ultra-Sound, Infrared, WiFi, Bluetooth and GSM have been considered for indoor localisation, their requirements forline of sight and/or prohibitive cost have hindered their successful adoption. We are therefore presenting a lowcostsolution using RFID technology which we refer to as the ¡®Overlapping Zone Partitioning¡¯ (OZP) techniquethat can be implemented using basic off-the-shelf RFID Readers and which has been derived from the zonebasedlocalisation technique. We have successfully implemented OZP and evaluated its performance. It hasbeen found that its accuracy is enhanced by nearly 40% in comparison to a normal zone-based localisationsystem. Its performance in terms of correct zone classification is within the range of 80-90%.
