PASSENGER/LUGGAGE MOVEMENT CONTROL SECURITY SYSTEMS

摘要

A security system for use at a transport terminal. An electronic passenger tag has a memory and a wireless communication device which transfers passenger data to and from the memory which permanently stores a unique passenger identification code in a tamper proof manner. An electronic luggage tag has a memory and a wireless communication device which transfers luggage data to and from the memory. A control system comprises a passenger monitoring station and a data processing device. The passenger monitoring station remotely reads a unique identification code and the control system writes the unique passenger identification code into the memory of an electronic luggage tag. The data processing device correlates unique passenger identification codes with luggage data read from the memory of electronic luggage tags to determine whether passengers or luggage are authorised to progress through the transport terminal.
