An Airport Baggage Handling System Using RFID Technology: A Proposed Architecture

This paper reports the current results on an
ongoing project. We propose a new architecture for
airport baggage handling using a combination of
technologies such as RFID, the internet, networks, web
and mobile communications. In this paper we identify
the problems associated with handling baggage in
airport and propose a solution to overcome those
problems using RFID technology. We also propose
some novel ideas to use popular technologies such as
web, SMS and interactive television screens for baggage
handling systems using RFID technology. We also
divided the total baggage path into several zones to
track them correctly and to identify where baggage was
lost or mishandled if possible.
