Abstract

Internet of Thing (IoT) is a procedure and process of interlinked computing devices, software technologies, sensors, and network connectivity, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or human beings which can be supplied with unique identifiers. Hajj is a completely unique gathering with Mecca and Kaaba being spiritually essential to many faiths across the globe, specifically Muslims. The form of communication that we see now could be either human–human or human–device; however, the Internet of Things (IoT) guarantees a top-notch destiny for the Internet. Radio-frequency identification system (RFID) is an automated technology and aids machines or computers to become aware of items, record metadata or manage individual goal through radio waves. This paper proposes an IoT based on RFID in order to engage the pilgrims within the slice to monitor the vital health rituals during Hajj framework according to the research gaps found in literature review. The results of the proposed framework will facilitate a high detection and monitoring the pilgrim personal RFID data. The future research tends our effort to test the proposed framework using a pre-survey as well as analyze, design, and implement the proposed framework.
