Automation of the Baggage Check-in Process Using RFID System in Airports

Using Digital Twins to Integrate Cyber Security with Physical Security at Smart Airports

“…Check-in at the gate relies heavily on obtaining biometric data on the passenger, such as facial recognition or fingerprint checks, and matching the information obtained with the data stored in the e-passport Luggage handling: One of the problems facing contemporary airports is the misplacement and mishandling of baggage due to increased passenger traffic and human error. In recent years, one solution to this problem has been the application of RFID technology to tag and track baggage [7]. RFID tags store information about passengers and their baggage, as well as a unique ID created at check-in.…”

A Holistic Review of Cybersecurity and Reliability Perspectives in Smart Airports

“…• Automated check-in [41], [43], [44]: Passengers can avoid long queues and procure their boarding passes by checking-in prior to their flights through their smartphones and completing the process through the Internet or by accessing smart kiosks found throughout the airport. Associated with these methods of checking-in is also another trend, automated bag drops where, by using one of the kiosks, passengers print the necessary barcode stickers, affix them to their own luggage and FIGURE 2: Proposed smart airport architecture drop them off at appointed areas to be further processed by the airport's system.…”

“…• RFID [44], [60], [61]: The first instance of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology appeared in 1945, and was intended as a spying tool developed by the Soviet Union [62]. RFID is a technology that has seen much use in short-range wireless communication systems.…”
