Techniques for Detecting and Tracking of Baggages in Airports

摘要

The baggage handling system has major impact on the security; especially in the airports. Improving baggage handling systems helps in many ways; to handle baggage in precise ways, to detect presence of explosives, any destructive materials in the baggage for security purposes. There are several technologies already being implemented in the airports. In this paper the different, effective and advanced technologies for detecting and tracking baggages in airports being adopted in the past one and half decade (2000 to 2015) have been studied and being compared. RFID adopts distributed architecture and has advantages like high accuracy, trading of with the cost. The new 3D CT baggage image enhancement algorithm enables to know the contents inside the baggage, providing better security at the airports. Fuzzy system is a low cost high precision system; which also contemplates human role apart from scrutiny of baggage. Though, the complicity in implementing of simulated annealing methodology is less. Emerging technology like Real time smart tracker consumes low power. This study of comparison and assessment of six methodologies for detecting and tracking of baggage's for airport applications helps to select suitable method for the given conditions.
