The ACS-ILS algorithm is proposed to find the best locations of RFID readers for theme parks. The ACS-ILS algorithm provides a 39% improvement over the solution quality compared to the traditional ACS algorithm. A service level index, based on the quantity and typeof readers, is developed to evaluate the deployment quality. Through the proposed index, theme park managers can decide whether reader settings are sufficiently met.
