A Study about Adjacent Baggage Recognition to Control the Adjoined Bags in Airport

The number of baggage with increasing passengers through the airport has been an explosive increase. For fast and reliable handing of baggage, the importance of Baggage Handling System has gradually increased. The checked-in baggage is top-loaded from conveyor belt into high speed tray for quick processing of it. Before top-loading, the baggage may be unstably positioned, dropped, or double loaded on the tray by various situations. Baggage Position Control System in an airport controls the position of baggage just before top-loading to solve the problems such as unstably positioned baggage or double loaded baggage. In this paper, we discuss the method that distinguishes whether the baggage is adjacent to the other or not in order to process adjacent or unstable baggage in the control part of Baggage Position Control System.
