Abstract
The baggage handling system (BHS) is one of the most complex system in the airport. A highly economical operating system is required to ensure its performance in consideration of its enormous cost on the extension. Furthermore, the inefficient operation deteriorates not only the system performance but the imbalance among the check-in counters because of a bottleneck on the conveyors downstream. The objective of this research is to improve the performance of both the BHS and the check-in area by efficiently controlling the flow in the merging area on the conveyors. Thus, we suggest a control logic of which the concept is borrowed from data networks. The simulation is used to analyze impacts of the conveyors bottleneck on the check-in area and optimize some parameters used in the suggested logic. We also discuss some observations from the simulation results into several aspects of performance measures.
