The report describes state-of-the-art baggage handling in the transportation industry. Although air transportation is emphasized, other modes of travel are covered. The evolution of baggage handling methods and equipment is discussed, and representative handling equipment, currently in use, is classified, its technical characteristics outlined, and evaluation of the equipment made. A methodology for selecting a baggage handling system is presented and examples of applications to various airport concepts and classifications are described. Based upon the general conclusion of the study that improvements are needed in the present methods of baggage handling throughout the transportation industry, recommendations are included toward this end. The general recommendation is that a common baggage handling system for high-density airports be designed, installed at a government-selected airport, and tested and evaluated. Specific conclusions concerning optimum baggage systems for three levels of airport volume are presented. (DOT abstract)
