• Baggage handling systems may use up to 40 per cent of the energy used at airports. It is therefore very important that these systems function as efficiently as possible. 

    This project concerns the design and operation of baggage handling equipment and systems and the selection of ‘green’ components and equipment.

  • Many airports around the world have self-service check-in facilities that passengers can use to check in their baggage. Upon arrival at the destination airport, however, passengers must use carousels to pick up their luggage.  

    This is not secure and can be time-consuming. Therefore, there is a need for systems that allow passengers to pick up their luggage at the location and at the time of their choice. This research project is about designing systems that allow passengers to pick up their luggage at any time and any location that is available.
