This study aims to present a methodology that helps to select the most appropriate technology for resource tracking in large projects such as refineries, offshore, mining, among others. The method used is the correlation between the metric performance parameters and technical characteristics of the sensors that Real Time Location System (RTLS) are based, such as Infrared, Ultrasound, Bluetooth, UWB, RFID, Zigbee and GPS. Thus, is obtained a table with qualitative indicators that are subsequently aligned in ascending order of operation, generating a radar chart to view evaluative rating clearly. The development of this method and its application aims to minimize mistakes in planning and achievement, enabling the development of RTLS's systems with more appropriate technologies.
