Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for providing power to a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader on a mobile structure are described. Energy is generated at the mobile structure. A battery or other energy storage device disposed on the mobile structure is charged with the generated energy. The RFID reader is powered with the energy storage device. The energy may be generated in a variety of ways, including using a vibratory energy harvesting device, a magnetic energy harvesting device, an optical energy harvesting device, a heat energy harvesting device, or a mechanical energy harvesting device.
