The dissertation discusses the possibilities of radio frequency identification technology for identification of movement of objects in defined space. The initial impetus for starting research in this area came from the business chain in private sector. Because of this the dissertation is focused primarily on tracking movement of customers within shopping area. The first chapters deal with RFID technology in general and its use in the business chains environment. The following chapters describe the application of theoretical RFID knowledge into practice, draft and preparation of technical solutions enabling tracking of objects in defined space. The dissertation then moves on from laboratory tests to experiments in real environment of a business chain, their practical verification, analysis and evaluation. The experiments at the end of the dissertation confirm feasibility and transfer of acquired knowledge into the environment of raw materials industry company engaged in coal mining.
