Radio frequency identification (RFID) always has a significant area of academic research over the last few years. The current paper presents a literature review of academic journal articles that were published on the subject after year 2000. Several case examples have been analyzed with the particular focus on RFID applications, its potential and future opportunities, particularly during disaster and rescue applications. It is hoped that the review will be a useful resource for researchers interested in RFID research.
