In this paper we demonstrate the possibility to use a mobile RFID reader to monitor the motion of visitors in a museum. The embedded system composed of an RFID reader, a 10-axis inertial management unit and a logger allows indoor localization based on the detection of multiple passive tags located at known geographical positions along the tour of the visitor. The design of the proposed RFID based system to localize persons in indoor environment is validated by simulations and practical measurements in a museum.
