    摘要: A counter module system is provided, which may allow for partial or full self check-in by a passenger at a transportation facility, such as an airport. The system may comprise a counter module having multiple bays each for receiving an equipment module. An equipment module may be compatible for installation in some or all of the bays. Easy customization of equipment may be achieved by installing the desired equipment in an equipment module and then rolling the module into an open bay in the counter module. The modularity may also allow for easy access to equipment for maintenance or resupply. When a piece of equipment stops working, the module containing the equipment may be removed from the bay and either quickly repaired or replaced with another module. The system may also have features for providing proper alignment of an equipment module within a bay of the counter module.

    摘要: An improved baggage drop system, method of modification, baggage counter and retrofit system for receiving baggage from a passenger are disclosed. In one aspect the baggage drop system includes a housing adjacent a conveyor system. A first system is operable by the passenger to generate a baggage tag upon receipt of passenger information, and also actuates the conveyor system. A second system is operable by a second person to print a baggage tag, and to actuate the conveyor system. Only one of the first system or the second system is operable at a single point in time.

    摘要: A container for transporting luggage items in an airport sorting system using a conveyor system for conveying the luggage items, includes a bottom region for coupling to a conveying unit of the conveyor system and a transporting region supported by the bottom region and receiving a luggage item to be transported. The bottom and transporting regions are each produced from x-ray transparent or radiolucent material. In order to provide a container which can be produced with low expenditure, is robust with regard to transport processes and is as homogeneous as possible with regard to being x-ray transparent or radiolucent, the bottom and transporting regions are formed from a basic body produced in one piece and from an x-ray transparent or radiolucent material and the basic body is formed from a foam perform or molded part. A sorting system for airport luggage items is also provided.

    摘要: A method and a trolley for facilitating a passenger's way through an airport terminal, and improved methods for boarding aircrafts. The trolley may include an interface, such as a boarding card reader, for receiving information identifying the passenger and/or the passenger's flight. Mobile wireless communication means may be provided at the trolley for receiving airport information data, such as flight departure gate, delay or cancellation information, from a computer network within an airport terminal. Data output means are provided to communicate information to the passenger. The trolley may be X-ray compliant. A communication interface may be provided at the trolley for communicating with a portable device, such as a smartphone or equivalent means of the passenger. Individually selected information based on passenger identity, destination, position or past collection of passenger behaviour may be disseminated to passengers on an individual basis. Passengers may be allowed to pass a gate for aircraft boarding only when called in accordance with a predetermined boarding sequence on the basis of, e.g., seat number or seat row.
