This paper present the IATA view on how best to implement 100% HBS and ensure that screening procedures are formalized in order to ensure that screening standards meet globally accepted standards. References: • IATA Position Paper on 100% Hold Baggage Screening (September 2003) (Appendix 1) 1. Introduction 1.1 The air transport industry operates in an extremely complex environment. In order to properly service their customers, air carriers must operate a multiplicity of routes, through numerous transfer and transit points involving numerous States, airports and often air carriers. 1.2 Superimposed on this already complex network are decisions made by individual States regarding the security and facilitation standards that they require within their territories as well as security and facilitation measures to be adopted by their registered air carriers when they operate in another State. This regulatory/operational environment has been made even more complex and difficult since the tragic events of 11 September, 2001.

  • Analysis of the Denver International Airport Baggage System
    Analysis of the Denver International Airport baggage system Michael Schloh Dan Stearns, advisor Title Abstract Contents Introduction Reasons For Automation Functionality Of Original BAE Design Problems and Solutions System Complexity Comparative Functionality Opening Delays Financial Hardship Summary Glossary References THE DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AUTOMATED BAGGAGE HANDLING SYSTEM by Michael Schloh Computer Science Department School of Engineering California Polytechnic State University 1996 Date Submitted: February 16, 1996 Advisor: Daniel Stearns ABSTRACT This document discusses events at the new Denver International Airport that resulted in opening delays of the airport. The scope is limited to the automated baggage handling system, which was the primary source of failure warranting the airport's several opening delays. Analysis of the failing system is comprehensive. Research is conducted using a variety of sources. The final report is published on the worldwide web. CONTENTS Introduction 1 Reasons For Automation 2 Functionality Of Original BAE Design 3 Problems and Solutions 6 System Complexity 12 Comparative Functionality 14 Opening Delays 15 Financial Hardship 17 Summary 19 Glossary 20 References 21 INTRODUCTION This research concerns the automated baggage handling system which was built by BAE Automated Systems, Incorporated of Carrollton, Texas for the Denver International Airport. The analysis of this system provides an important topic of study. From the baggage system's failure, principles of computer systems were clarified and many lessons were learned or relearned by those involved in the BAE project. While there are a variety of issues to learn from the many operations in the construction of the Denver International Airport, focus is placed on the baggage system itself.

  • ACRP Airport Baggage Handling Opportunity
    ACRP Problem Statement No. 14-07-01 Recommended Allocation: -- ACRP Airport Baggage Handling Opportunity ACRP Staff Comments: US Airways is now offering real-time baggage tracking to their customers. The proposed research should consider ACRP Report 30: Reference Guide on Understanding Common Use at Airports; ACRP Report 41: Current Status and Future Implications of Passenger Self-Tagging; and ACRP Report 61: Elimination or Reduction of Baggage Recheck for Arriving International Passengers. The scope and budget of the proposed research are significantly greater than those of a typical ACRP project. Recommend limiting the effort to exploring the need, benefits, challenges, and feasibility of implementing the proposed approach to tracking baggage, and reducing the funding to $300,000. TRB Aviation Group Committees Comments: AIRCRAFT/AIRPORT COMPATIBILITY: An expensive study to develop a proprietary product. A study of baggage handling methodology would be more appropriate to ACRP. AVIATION SECURITY AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: Not supported. The “Research Proposed” focuses on research to develop a working model of a baggage handling system using “Smart Bag Tag” which will track bags, assist in locating bags, alert staff if baggage not loaded correctly, identify a bag for security personnel to track, and change the flight itinerary on the tag. This is a massive, multi-agency RESEARCH project. This should be proposed to the FAA Tech Center – Atlantic City, not to TRB as an ACRP project. AIRPORT TERMINALS AND GROUND ACCESS: Not supported. A tremendous amount of research has already been done on this topic. Yes, a common global baggage system based on RFID technology would be useful, but TRB doesn't manufacture hardware and create software to run it as was suggested in the proposal.

  • Baggage Handling, Contracting, and Other Issues
    United States General Accounting Office GAO Fact Sheet for the Honorable Hank Brown, U.S. Senate August 1995 DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Baggage Handling, Contracting, and Other Issues GAO/RCED-95-241FS United States GAOU General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-261887 August 9, 1995 The Honorable Hank Brown United States Senate In January of this year, you requested that we provide with information you about the Denver International Airport (DIA). You specifically asked that we provide you with (1) a cash flow analysis; (2) an examination of the Securities and Exchange Commission's rule governing the requirements for financial reporting in bond prospectuses; (3) a chronology of major events that occurred in building DIA's automated baggage-handling system; (4) an assessment of the contract award process, including any special considerations for disadvantaged businesses; and (5) a list of major concerns expressed about the project and their resolution. Our work to address the first two areas is ongoing; when it is completed, we will provide you with the results in a separate report. This report provides information on the last three issues. / SUMMARY Initially, the City of Denver planned to open the airport with a conventional tug-and-cart baggage system. The City decided to go with a conventional system after it was advised that proceeding with a technologically sophisticated automated system posed a high risk of not meeting the airport's scheduled October 1993 opening date. However, the City later decided to accept the risk associated with building an airportwide automated baggage system.
