Baggage handling at airports is witnessing a significant transformation driven by technological innovations.  It is imperative that airports and stakeholders gain a comprehensive and unbiased understanding of the new systems, software, and methods accompanying this transformation, particularly with respect to their impacts on facility design, infrastructure, and cyber security.

The objective of this research is to provide airport practitioners with a comprehensive description of baggage handling technologies and guidelines for evaluating and incorporating these technologies to meet their unique needs.
