摘要

Airway transportation has become trending among travelers. However, the check-in process involved a lot of stages, includes flight ticket check-in, luggage drop-off, luggage scanning and others. This research focuses on developing an online software integrated device that capable of managing the luggage check-in process at the airport. A weight sensor device is used to capture the weight of luggage and synchronized with the real time database. Android application is developed to display the user interface in check-in the luggage. Additional capability of purchasing add-on luggage is included in the developed software application. Result shows that by some assumption on time duration taken to scan, print and get the bag tag, the estimated recorded time is four minutes and thirty-seven seconds for no purchase add-on activity, and an average time of six minutes and fifteen seconds with purchase add-on activity. By eliminating the purchase of additional luggage at different counter process, it is believed to reduce the time taken during luggage check-in process for that passenger.
