  • Abstract
    RFID is a promising technology which is expected to become ubiquitous in the coming years; assisting organizations in solving problems related to security, identification and asset tracking. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a prototype system for baggage handling in airports. The proposed system enhances the management and tracking of passengers´ luggage while as a side effect improving airport security. It accomplishes this by integrating RFID technology together with networking and database technologies.
