The framework development of a RFID-based baggage handling system for airports

Abstract

This paper introduces a study of a Baggage Handling System (BHS) interface solution and the expected effects of applying a new Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the Incheon airport baggage handling facilities. In addition, this study suggests that the RFID application could improve the use of human and material resources. For example, this could lead to a decrease in the amount of delayed baggage by increasing the tag-read rate, improvements in convenience by providing baggage information, improvements in security screening efficiency, and a reduction in Minimum Connecting Time (MCT). © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
