Is there a way to track a RFID using the RFID reader?

I have a long range RFID reader together with the RFID. Is there any possibility to track the RFID? Thanks. I use vb.net as my programming language for saving the tag to the database.

The tag only reply with an id, but not with an timestamp when the id started sending, right?. You need the time to measure speed. With the time and knowing which antenna received the answer of the tag and the time when the reader started asking for tags you could make a rough assumption about distance and maybe direction of travel. For really tracking movement you need to know the building environment and needs to have more than just one reader. A RFID tag is not a GPS transponder
