Fast & Easy Self Bag Drop Solutions

Date 24.01.2012

Airports and airlines world-wide are considering the implementation of self bag drop to speed up the departure process of passengers: service to passengers is improved and handling costs are reduced. One of the key issues to decide upon is whether or not to split the bag drop process into multiple steps. Should bag tagging be done at the self bag drop point (SBD), or is it more efficient to do this at a separate kiosk?
 
For this paper we have used simulation results to provide insights about the impact of a 1- vs. 2-stop self bag drop process on passenger queuing time. We hope it provides you with some valuable insights that can be helpful when making decisions about the implementation of self bag drop at your airport.
