Abstract

In steel works, Locomotives and torpedo ladle cars are used to convey the smelted iron that comes out Blast Furnace to the steel-making mill. Above conveying vehicles are operated in all steel works area. And to trace their positions, after partitioned their areas, Automatic Vehicle Identification(RF-ID method) is installed on the railroad and identifies vehicle numbers. But AVI facilities have many problem that means that are too expensive, cost too much maintenance fee and inefficient management.
