Guidelines for baggage transportation on airlines of the USSR (RBP)

Rules for the carriage of baggage in air transport

The traveler's luggage is always present. The term baggage is used primarily in the US; V English language another term is adopted - luggage. The amount of it depends on the purpose of the trip, timing and needs. Different types of means of passenger transportation limit baggage in different ways. A sea vessel is incomparable in terms of the possibilities of transporting luggage of tourists with an air liner. Baggage that a passenger can carry on a flight (air, bus, railway) without additional payment, - allowance of free baggage. In aviation, the weight and dimensions of baggage are limited depending on the type of aircraft and class of service. Usually it is 30 kg for the first class and 20 kg for the rest of the classes. In addition to technical problems, international transport there are customs restrictions. National rules establish baggage, according to subject and quantitative characteristics, that a passenger can carry without paying a fee duty free baggage.

In general, individual aircraft designs can take on board and carry a significant amount of cargo. But passenger liners are not adapted for this and the number, weight, and, most importantly, the amount of luggage is limited. Large packaged baggage - suitcases, bags, packages - is specially checked in (each piece) and handed over to the luggage compartment of the aircraft, passengers take small personal items and items with them into the cabin. In travel practice, tourists do not take a lot of luggage with them according to the purpose of the trip. The exceptions are emigrants, persons following a long-term residence in the destination, such as diplomats, specialists, as well as shopping tourists (shuttles). Containers are provided for them, or their cargo follows a special cargo plane on another flight, or they have to choose another mode of transport for transportation.

Travelers by air can take with them a limited amount of luggage free of charge - up to 30 kg and a certain number of pieces for an additional fee. Baggage passes control, is completely and without exception translucent and, if necessary, checked at checkpoints for the presence of items prohibited for transportation, and undergoes selective checks by the security service. All single packaged items are registered, they are assigned an identification number, a tag with the number of the flight, seat, ticket number is affixed to each piece of baggage. The scope of the usual compulsory insurance includes baggage insurance, but compensation, as a rule, in case of loss or damage to it during air transportation does not exceed 100 USD.

Baggage rules

Passenger's baggage, handed over by him for transportation and following on the vehicle together with the passenger, is accompained baggage. This baggage is divided into free baggage allowance and additional fee. Transport companies limit not only the weight, but also the dimensions of the luggage accepted for transportation. Restrictions are being introduced on the composition of items included in baggage in terms of security. On some charter flights carrying tourists on specialized shopping tours (Turkey, United Arab Emirates etc.), weight limit free baggage can be significantly increased (up to 50 and even 100 kg). Excess baggage baggage excess is paid additionally at a rate that is different on airlines.

All carried by passengers aircraft baggage must be checked in. Checked baggage registered baggage, checked baggage - baggage that is checked in by a passenger to an airline for transportation under its responsibility. For any checked baggage, the passenger is issued a special numbered voucher (personal identifier of the baggage tag), upon presentation of which the passenger at the port of destination can receive his baggage. The tear-off part of the coupon with the same number is pasted on the luggage unit (suitcase, bag, bale, box, package). At the check-in counters for tickets and luggage, there are control scales and conveyors, through which the luggage goes to the storage compartments and then goes to the aircraft to its destination.

Part of the baggage (personal items) can be taken by the passenger to the carry-on cabin of the aircraft. However, at check-in, the passenger is also given a special tag with the inscription “hand baggage” hand baggage / luggage. In the UK, the term luggage ticket/receipt is more commonly used. Passengers are advised not to discard the tags before leaving the airport; at any time, a special controller can check the correspondence of these two receipts to make sure that you have taken your luggage.

Issuing Baggage Claim baggage to passengers at the port of arrival is a rather complicated and troublesome procedure. First of all, it is necessary to organize a quick unloading of the luggage compartments of the aircraft and deliver the luggage to passengers in the arrivals hall (after passing through passport control). Special compartments are arranged there, where luggage is delivered, and the passenger himself finds his luggage, if necessary, uses the trolley, and at the exit presents the luggage receipt to the controller. For the convenience of finding their luggage, passengers in large airport terminals arrange moving circular conveyors, called the carousel. There are up to ten or more such conveyors in the arrival halls of large airports. At each conveyor or compartment, a light board is installed indicating the number of the flight, the luggage of which is being distributed.

To store the luggage of transit passengers, special baggage-rooms are used (in England, the term luggage office is more often used).

Collisions with passengers' luggage

Damage to or shortage of baggage damage to baggage is a "parable of the tongues" for all carriers. Suitcases and bags are damaged, opened by loaders, valuable items are lost, luggage is lost, stolen, it is sent to another flight to another port on the other side of the world, to another country, etc. These troubles happen to famous travelers and ordinary tourists.

This is quite possible on any flight of any airline. Lost luggage they put Baggage Tracing on the wanted list and in a week or two - he (possibly) is located. Of course, the passenger is not indifferent and writes complaints, demanding compensation. But, unless the luggage is insured separately, then the amount of compensation does not exceed 100 USD, however, it is almost never possible to receive compensation for moral damage. In addition, the passenger will have to go to the airport a couple of times for luggage at its location. It is not uncommon for unscrupulous loaders to rummage through the luggage, take out the most valuable things. There are options when, during loading, the suitcase is damaged either due to opening, or from impact when falling from a height during loading. To avoid ransacking and theft - suitcases are used with a light but durable body and combination locks.

To prevent the luggage from being gutted by crafty porters and other persons who have a professional unauthorized interest in the contents of the suitcases, a service has been introduced at check-in counters for wrapping a suitcase or bag with a wide plastic tape such as "adhesive tape". This event gives a chance for the safety of luggage. Given the risk of loss or damage to baggage, insurance companies offer additional baggage insurance, and passengers - members of frequent flyer clubs, first and business class passengers - will certainly be provided with a special baggage monitoring service. Special baggage escort system for air travel for IAPA members - Bag-Guard, which ensures almost 100% safety of the traveler's baggage.

Carrying and transporting luggage

Carrying luggage is an important operation, porter services are available at almost all airports. However, at the stage of check-in for the flight, the passenger arrives with luggage and is personally obliged to present it to the controller or customs officer. As a service to passengers with multiple pieces of luggage at each airport, convenient luggage carts are available in each airport's check-in and baggage claim halls, which are available in large numbers in each of the halls. Special employees collect trolleys in the check-in halls and at the parking lots and deliver them to the accumulators to the place of storage and issue to passengers. As a rule, trolleys are provided free of charge. But in countries where there are few carts for objective or subjective reasons, they are issued for a fee or on bail.

Special consideration is given to carrying luggage during the transfer phase. As a rule, it is paid extra to the baggage-man porter. The order of this fee is different and depends on local customs. You should always find out the traditions and, if necessary, stipulate the entire procedure in the tourist service contract indicating the cost, number of seats, etc. Carrying luggage for tourists in Egypt and other Eastern countries"sacred cow" and locals they are very zealous about this procedure, without fail demanding “baksheesh”.

Items prohibited for transportation by air

For reasons of flight safety, the rules of transportation introduce a number of restrictions on the transportation of items and materials by air. A list of hazardous items and substances prohibited for transportation in baggage dangerous articles in baggage has been established. Most transport companies refer various gases to this type: compressed compressed, highly refrigerated or frozen deeply refrigerated, combustible flammable and non-flammable non-flammable, butane butan, oxygen oxyden, liquid nitrogen liquid nitrogen, charged scuba diving cylinders cilinders; poisonus poisons, corrosives corrosives; acids acids, alkalis alcalis, mercury mercury and wet cell batteries.

Prohibited for transportation are especially distinguished: explosives explosives, fireworks lighting cartridges, signal flares and sparklers flares, munitions ammunition, pistol caps pistol caps, pistols and hand gan revolvers.

It is forbidden to transport flammable liquids or objects, radioactive, magnetized aggressive and irritating materials: bispossable lighter lighters, flammable substances lighter fuel, lighter reffils, radioactive materials, magnetized materials magnetized materials, aggressive offensive materials, irritating materials irritating materials. Matters matches and pocket lighters can be taken into the cabin by the passenger. Brief-cases and attache cases with installed alarm devices are not permitted on aircraft.

However, this list covers items and substances that are prohibited for transportation for reasons of flight safety. There are other restrictions established by the customs and fiscal rules and laws of states for the transport of contraband (goods in excess of the norm for personal use, currency, drugs and medicines, items and substances, as well as animals prohibited for export-import).

When registering passengers at the airport of departure and at the airport of arrival, baggage is controlled by scanning each piece of cargo at a special terminal, external examination with dogs trained for drugs or explosives. If suspicions arise, a thorough search of luggage and even a personal search is possible. For violation of the rules of baggage transportation, the passenger may be held administratively, civilly or criminally liable. Upon the arrival of an international flight in some countries, two options for passage are established:

a) through the checkpoint: along the "green corridor" without verification;

b) along the "red corridor" with a check and inspection. The passenger himself chooses the option of passage, but the control service has the full right to stop any passenger and inspect the luggage, personal inspection.

For personal inspection there are special rooms and witnesses. If necessary, video filming is carried out. For the performance of a personal search, there are doctors and special personnel of the sex according to the affiliation of the subject of the search. All passengers are quickly monitored by passing through a metal detector gate or a manual metal detector; a situation with a simple feeling of clothes is possible. In this case, all metal objects in the pockets of clothing, the passenger must put on a special tray for inspection. Hand luggage is subject to a detailed inspection by transillumination or visual inspection.

Items and things that passengers are allowed to take into the cabin

Separate small and valuable items and things for personal consumption, passengers are allowed to take with them into the cabin. First of all, in the cabin, the entire space is filled with armchairs and there are small ceiling-mounted drawers, generally closed with snap-on lids. There is a blanket, life jackets and a small space for hand luggage. If the flight is not completely full and there are empty seats, then it may be allowed to take a light suitcase or a not too big sports bag with you, if the board is full, then there is practically no room for luggage in the cabin. Luggage cannot be placed in the aisle between the seats, since this space is intended for the movement of passengers, flight attendants, food carts. There is some small space under the chair. However, the number and volume of things and accessories that passengers are allowed to take with them to the cabin is limited: handbags, coats, umbrellas, raincoats and capes from the rain, a blanket or woolen blanket, cameras, binoculars, a reasonable amount of literature for reading, baby food, baby basket or stroller, collapsible or folding baby chair.

In order for tourists to take less luggage with them on a trip, German travel companies for their clients, they introduced a new practice of including in the cost of a tour to seaside resorts the 20 most necessary household items that the tourist receives at his choice in the local boutique of the resort hotel (beach goggles, shorts, sandals, underwear, hygiene items, etc.). This allows you to significantly reduce the amount of luggage and travel almost "light".

Containers for transporting luggage and animals

When transporting bulk cargo - the luggage of passengers on airplanes - the volume of cargo is much more important than their weight, although the latter is important. This problem has risen sharply with the intensification of shopping flights. In the early 1990s, small-scale wholesale traders, using customs preferences granted to tourists, began to intensively transport clothes and manufactured goods to Russia, and sometimes the weight of luggage exceeded a ton per passenger. Shuttle tourism is not a Russian invention, as long as there are price and assortment differences, there has been and will be an element of using tourism for the purposes of small-scale wholesale trade and transportation of goods across the border.

To simplify the transportation procedure, cargo containers of standardized sizes are used, corresponding to the design cargo compartments aircraft. Air freight containers have special dimensions and designs.

The passenger has the right to rent a container and put his own things, bales, bags, suitcases into it, set a code lock. This simplifies the process of loading luggage, reduces the risk of its loss and damage. All containers have a door for stacking cargo and are equipped with a reliable lock. Similar containers are used by Aeroflot when organizing shopping tours to Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

Automatic baggage handling systems are installed at airports with high traffic intensity. When using these systems, all processes related to baggage sorting are fully automated. The baggage presented by passengers is placed on roller tables of working racks on small pallets equipped with magnetic storage devices. The baggage receiver types in the flight code on the memory device and directs the pallet onto the conveyor. The pallet with baggage, moved by the conveyor to the picking room, passes on its way past the decoding device, which directs the pallet with the help of actuators to the storage conveyor serving the corresponding flight. Luggage is loaded onto luggage trolleys manually or with the help of mechanized devices, and the empty pallet is returned to the operating room via a special conveyor. Baggage sent to the system prematurely is sent to temporary storage. The storage system consists of a slowly moving endless conveyor, on which a pallet of luggage periodically passes by a sorting device. This device selects a pallet of baggage destined for transfer to flights that have begun to be completed.

Automatic systems operating with the use of pallets have a large throughput and can practically serve any number of simultaneously completed flights. The main disadvantage of automatic baggage handling systems is the need for significant capital investments for their equipment.

System throughput is about 3000 seats/h

6. Baggage claim systems, classification, requirements.

The baggage claim for passengers arriving at the airport of destination is one of the most complex and time-consuming processes in the complex of ground handling of passengers, since, unlike the flow of departing passengers, which gradually accumulates in the terminal, passengers descending from the airstairs are sent to the baggage claim area with large groups.

Rational technology for carrying out baggage claim operations and the use of mechanization tools with high productivity, to a large extent, can reduce the time of ground handling of passengers at the airport of arrival.

The following technological requirements are imposed on baggage claim systems:

no delays in baggage claim and speed of distribution;

Possibility of self-service;

the presence of a sufficiently large distribution front;

Simultaneous distribution of baggage only for passengers of one flight;

no possibility of damage to luggage and its protection from atmospheric

In accordance with these requirements, several issuing workplaces must be organized at airport terminals or at the airport, each of which can serve the required number of flights within an hour. The places of issue should be located in such a way as to ensure the minimum number of transfers of baggage from vehicles.

Existing baggage claim facilities can be classified into the following groups.

By location of issuing systems:

in the pavilion for baggage claim;

on the forefront;

at the aircraft ramp.

Stationary equipment intended only for the distribution of baggage

passengers;

By equipment design:

mobile means of mechanization designed to transport luggage

from the aircraft to the place of issue and for the distribution of baggage;

mobile means of mechanization designed to unload luggage from

aircraft, transportation of baggage to the place of issue and distribution of baggage.

Currently, in domestic and foreign airports, the most common are stationary baggage claim facilities. These facilities include dispensing conveyors, baggage carousels and dispensing refugs. All this equipment is located, as a rule, in the airport terminal or in a separate baggage claim pavilion.

Distribution conveyors are divided by design into the following groups:

Rectilinear belt conveyors that receive

baggage from vehicles and its issuance in one level;

conveyors that accept luggage from vehicles and its

issuance at different levels

· conveyors with the closed rectangular contour of delivery;

· conveyors with a loop-like contour of delivery;

· oval conveyors;

· Conveyors with a round delivery front.

Of the stationary means for claiming baggage, the most widely used are straight-line distributing conveyors assembled from sections mass-produced by the industry.

Convenient for distributing luggage, but structurally more complex are circular and oval conveyors. Baggage is fed onto the conveyor belt, which makes a circular motion, using an inclined conveyor-feeder, the lower end of which is located at the level of the platform. The height of the tape above the floor is 50 - 60 cm, the width of the distributing tape is about one meter.

Dispensing oval-type belt conveyors are equipped with belts inclined towards the outer side of the conveyor. Luggage is fed by a feeder from the inside of the conveyor to a long branch of the belt. The conveyor belt has a variable transverse slope from 20 to 40°, reaching maximum values on short branches. The conveyor is equipped with an outer side, consisting of a fixed outer part and a movable rubber flange on the inner side, moving at the same speed as the carrier belt, and protecting luggage from damage and abrasion by the side of the installation.

The second type of stationary equipment designed for baggage claim are baggage carousels. This type of equipment has become widespread abroad and is currently in operation in 40 major airports. The luggage carousel is a cone-shaped rotating table with low sides. The table is rotated by means of a rotary mechanism driven through an intermediate gearbox from one or two low-power electric motors. The rotation speed of the carousel is about one revolution per minute.

The supply of luggage unloaded from vehicles is carried out using a conveyor - feeder. The discharge branch of the conveyor is installed above or below the hollow central part of the rotating table. The diameter of the transfer table of luggage carousels is from 6 to 10 m. The main advantage of dispensing carousels over straight dispensing conveyors is that Passengers can safely receive their luggage while staying in one place.

Most simple view equipment intended for the delivery of baggage to passengers are luggage transfer benches (refuges). Luggage is delivered to the place of distribution on electric cars and then laid out by the storekeeper on inclined benches, from which it is disassembled by passengers. Although the baggage claim system with refuge is inefficient, this method is still used by a large number of APs.

At some airports that use the baggage claim system with refuge, baggage is delivered to incline benches using conveyors - feeders. A very progressive method of baggage delivery for passengers arriving at the destination airport is its distribution from self-propelled platforms. The introduction of such a distribution technology makes it possible to eliminate the operations of unpacking luggage from vehicles to dispensing devices and thereby significantly reduce the duration of baggage claim. Electric cars with an extended platform or failed self-propelled passenger ladders are used as self-propelled transfer trolleys, on the frame of which instead of a dismantled lifting ladder a wide platform with transfer benches is installed. Self-propelled carts based on electric cars are equipped with a flat platform with low sides, designed to install 110 - 120 pieces of luggage. A number of airports also use swing trolleys with two wide inclined racks.

The design of self-propelled platforms equipped on the basis of passenger ladders is carried out in relation to two technological schemes for distributing baggage:

With luggage dismantling by passengers from the platform on both sides of the trolley;

With the movement of the flow of passengers directly through the platform of the transfer trolley.

7. Calculation of technological parameters of passenger service systems in the airport. A/V as a queuing system. Basic concepts.

Mass service systems are systems in which, on the one hand, there are mass requests (requirements) for the performance of any types of services, and on the other hand, these requests are satisfied.

Waiting systems are queuing systems that can have any long queue of requests to the service device.

In accordance with the above classification, the AVK pass is a multi-channel, multi-phase QS with waiting, the state of which changes randomly.

The task of studying an air terminal as a queuing system is to determine the optimal relationships between the characteristics of the incoming passenger flow and the number of service vehicles.

The main parameters of the passenger service system in the terminal, subject to calculation in the analysis of their functioning, will be:

Intensity of incoming passenger and baggage flows (), [pass/hour, pass/min];

Intensity of passenger service in the operating halls of the terminal (), [pas/hour, pas/min];

Optimal number of workplaces for passenger check-in and baggage acceptance;

Number of baggage claim and points for customs and border formalities at international airports;

Along with the specified parameters characterizing the terminal as a queuing system, the parameters of the main operating areas of the terminal are to be determined:

Capacity of the main operating areas of the terminal;

Required areas of the main operating areas of the terminal.

1. General description of the belt conveyor

The BHS Belt Conveyor can be integrated into almost any manufacturing process where baggage and/or other items are required to be transported, regardless of their type, including the Baggage Handling System at Airports.

The optimal set of components for the Baggage Handling System makes it low-budget and attractive, allowing it to be used in small and medium-sized airports

The belt conveyor can be located:

Horizontally

with rise

tilted

Thus, any configuration of the conveyor is possible.

For pipelines, parameters such as:

Conveyor length

Conveyor belt widths

The speed of the belt, etc., is determined by the needs of the customer.

Due to the unification of individual nodes BHS system can be optimally designed and placed in almost any suitable room.

The main element of any conveyor is a drive unit with a motor, gear and fastening system.

BHS drive units are available in various sizes and capacities to suit the needs of the conveyor.

At the beginning and end of the conveyor, special return units are installed on belt brackets, which are adjustable in length.

The steel legs welded to the conveyor serve as a support for the conveyor and can be adapted to different floor contours thanks to height-adjustable screw feet.

If necessary, if required by the landscape of the room and the functionality of the system, special ceiling suspensions are used.

Depending on the purpose of the conveyor, the appropriate type of belt is used. luggage conveyor roller

BHS uses only high quality materials for its conveyor belts. At the request of the customer, fire-resistant materials can be used.

The tape slides over the surface of the tape brackets and drive unit. On the inside of the conveyor, the tape returns by means of reversing rollers.

Side surfaces of the conveyor can be made of painted (color - at the request of the customer) steel sheets or stainless steel.

As a standard, all visible elements of the conveyors, which are located in the passenger area, are covered with stainless steel sheets.

BHS belt conveyors are well known in many countries of the world and in Russia as conveyors with high load capacity - 50 kg/m.

A large number of additional components and accessories, such as control systems, command counters, etc., can be installed on BHS conveyor systems at the request of the customer.

Characteristics:

Power 0.25 - 3.0 kW (depending on needs)

Motor mounted on a shaft with a gear

Conveyor speed According to system requirements

Tape width 800-1.200 mm (other sizes on request)

Working width Belt width + 30 mm

2. Conveyors for the baggage check-in line (weighing, marking and feeding conveyors)

The solidly welded carrying frame of the weighing conveyor also serves as the attachment point for the luggage scales, which are integrated into the system. They are calibrated and tested at a company in Germany before they are sent to the customer.

Welded steel racks are used as a supporting structure for the marking and infeed conveyors. Thanks to height-adjustable screw feet, all load-bearing structures can be adjusted to any floor level.

In accordance with the standards, BHS installs a drum-wound motor (with stainless steel gearing) to transfer heavy loads in the conveyors of the baggage check-in line, as well as provide (optional) and reverse (two-way) movement of the conveyor.

Baggage check-in conveyors are delivered to the customer at the installation site already fully assembled and pre-tested.

The conveyor belts that BHS uses for this type of conveyor are specially designed for the carriage of baggage in air transport and are selected to meet the requirements of the entire Baggage Handling System.

The material of the tapes is of exceptionally high quality and is resistant to fire.

Conveyor belts slide smoothly over the surface of the supporting devices.

As a standard, all visible elements of the baggage check-in conveyors, which are located in the passenger area, are covered with stainless steel sheets, which are adapted and built into the passenger check-in counters.

3. Rotary belt conveyor

The Turning Belt Conveyor is a subsequent transport unit that is integrated into the Baggage Handling System and, if necessary, can be turned on and off from the control panel.

The main components that make up the rotary conveyor:

Bearing structures.

Curved frame.

Drive unit

Return pulley.

Assembly line.

Side guides.

Sidewalls.

Characteristics

Direct drive motor

Conveyor speed 0.1 - 0.3 m/s

Angle of rotation 45 - 180 °

Belt width 400 - 1.200 mm

Inner radius 600 - 1.200 mm

The direction of movement, drive position, angle of rotation, etc., the parameters of the turning conveyor depend on the overall configuration of the Baggage Handling System.

4. Carousel RS30

Baggage carousel RS30 has the form of a closed ring of various configurations and can be used as a baggage claim conveyor, as well as a baggage sorting conveyor in the departure area.

To achieve more convenient access to luggage, the surface of the carousel can have an inclination of 30

As a standard, the surface of the carousel consists of black raised lip carrier plates, which are made from rubber components.

At the additional request of the customer, plates with increased resistance to fire can be installed.

Thanks to its increased load capacity of up to 100 kg/linear meter and the possibility of double loading in height, this type of luggage carousel is in great demand among customers, especially as a sorting conveyor.

Thanks to the design features of the R30 baggage carousels, they can be easily adapted to the architecture of the premises.

The outer covering, which is attached to the welded steel base frame, can be replaced at any time.

Sufficiently heavy frame elements can be adapted to any floor contour thanks to height-adjustable screw feet.

The drive unit has high wear resistance, silent operation, and the traction chain does not require maintenance.

An electric starter is built into the control panel in order to start the System without sudden shocks.

Built-in plastic guide rollers operate silently, bearings do not require regular lubrication and maintenance. As with most conveyor systems on the market, the RS30 carousel carrier plates move but are not rigidly attached to the side frame.

Thus, there is no increased friction of the plates and passengers' luggage.

Cross section of carousel RS30:

View of the RS30 carousel from above:

Due to its curved geometry, the RS30 baggage carousel can only be 0-shaped (circle and ellipse).

The length and width of the carousel adapts to the surrounding landscape.

5. Vertical discharge belt container

The vertical outward belt conveyor (pusher) is a vertically located conveyor element that is integrated into the Baggage Handling System and is located parallel to the conveyor belt. The pusher can, if necessary, be turned on and off on the control panel or on a special panel located next to the pusher.

It serves to separate (push) individual pieces of baggage, which are identified as "suspicious" by the introscope, from the main "normal" baggage flow to another conveyor, which is located parallel or at an angle of 90 ° to the main conveyor and delivers "suspicious" baggage to the place additional screening.

In the "on" position, the swivel arm extends and the conveyor element built into it is turned on.

When the pusher is activated, the luggage is pushed out for additional screening.

Structural elements:

Floor support (column).

Cross braces.

Belt conveyor drive.

Swivel sleeve.

Return pulley.

Assembly line.

Rotary arm drive 1.1 W

Belt conveyor drive 0.75 kW

Shaft mounted with helical gear

About 0.9 m/s

About 1.2 sec

6. Gravity roller conveyor (roller table)

BHS non-powered roller conveyors can be integrated into virtually any manual handling process for luggage and other items. Often they are used as a coasting roller conveyor for baggage handling, when it is necessary to accumulate baggage at its end and from where it must be taken by airport employees for further processing.

Smaller airports use these conveyors in the arrivals area as baggage claim conveyors. As a rule, they are lined with stainless steel sheets.

Thanks to their uniform design, this type of conveyor can always be adapted to the needs of the entire system and any room architecture.

Steel supports, which serve as the supporting structure for the roller conveyor, can be adjusted in height with screw legs to suit any floor relief. Ceiling hangers can be used if necessary.

The side guide surfaces can be made of painted steel sheets (colour on request) or stainless steel.

For the possible subsequent installation of photoelectric barriers, appropriate openings are provided at the production stage.

As a standard, all visible elements of the conveyors, which are located in the passenger area, are covered with stainless steel sheets. The carrier rollers are also made of stainless steel.

7. Ring conveyor for baggage claim (Baggage carousel)GL79

The luggage carousel, operating in a horizontal plane, is a curved closed conveyor with sickle-shaped or other shaped carrier plates attached to it, which move the luggage.

Due to their special shape, the plastic carrier plates lined up in a row form a closed, curved conveying surface.

The luggage carousel consists of the following main elements:

Support frame elements.

Drive device.

Stretching device.

Conveyor chain with guide rollers.

Carrier plates (crescent shape).

Facing (in the passenger area).

The luggage carousel can have various forms in the form of:

L-shape or

U-shape, etc.

When determining the shape of the baggage carousel, it should be borne in mind that a more complex shape (L or T) has large quantity rotary elements, which affects the complexity of maintenance and, accordingly, the service life of its moving parts. Thus, from this point of view, the luggage carousel having the shape of "O" is optimal.

Theoretically, the dimensions (length and width) of the conveyor system are determined by the customer. The final conveyor length depends on the chain pitch.

The choice of standard width depends on the shape of the conveyor. For clarification, please contact us.

Specifications:

Power 2.2 - 4.0 kW

The supporting structure is a welded steel frame, which is bolted together.

Each element of the supporting structure can be adjusted in height by means of screw feet. Rubber pads on screw feet serve as buffers.

Conventional frames have a standard length of 1.980 mm.

The length of the frames attached to them depends on the requirements of the customer and corresponds to the pitch of the chain drive.

All tension frames consist of two elements, each 920 mm long, which are connected to each other by threaded pins. Thanks to these threaded pins, the length of the system can be varied, as well as the tension of the chain.

Frame bending dimensions are standardized, but at the request of the customer they can be made with any bending angle.

Drive frames have a standard length of 2.980 mm. In case of ordering a very short conveyor (average length over 15 m), the length of the drive frame can be changed.

The console on which the drive unit is mounted is located forward on the drive frame. The dimensions of the console are approximately 1,000 x 600 mm.

Drive unit design:

The BHS drive unit has a high wear resistance and a maintenance-free chain drive. It consists of the following elements:

Motor with gear transmission.

Maintenance-free cantilever adjustable bearings in a cast steel casing.

Engine and idler shafts made of high quality steel, each with a double L sprocket.

Maintenance-free chain drive, which is a special double L-roller chain with drive rollers spaced 609 mm apart.

A plastic sled rail that supports the chain drive.

Controller for information support of the drive device, connected to the control panel.

conveyor chain

The conveyor chain is a chain transmission that duplicates the shape of the conveyor and is made of sheet steel with a pitch of 508 mm. Built-in guide plastic rollers work silently. Roller bearings do not require regular lubrication and maintenance.

The fixing bolt at the pivot point of the chain is made of hardened steel.

carrier plates

The carrier plates are crescent-shaped and are used as a carrier surface for moving luggage. Each plate is supported by a 4 ball bearing with a polyurethane tire. Bearings do not require maintenance. Such a system avoids swinging of the plates during loading and unloading of luggage.

The surface of the bearing plates consists of a special high-quality rubberized material, which is obtained by vulcanization.

Due to their shape, the plates form a closed work surface without gaps, even on a curved conveyor

9. Electric Roller Door

The roller door is made of light metal. It covers the hole in the wall through which the luggage system conveyor passes, in the position when the system is turned off. The roller door mainly consists of:

Composite profile (light metal).

Guide slides.

Steel tubular roll.

Bearing system.

Direct drive with electromagnetic brake.

Roll protection system.

Drive handle for emergency situations.

Contact rail.

The dimensions, in particular the height and length of the roller door, correspond to the cutout in the wall at the installation site of the conveyor. The protective plates of the roller door are made in natural colors based on optical purposes.

For small passenger terminals with limited space, customized solutions are used to make the baggage handling system efficient and compact.

2.3.4. Passenger service upon arrival

The passenger pickup and boarding agent receives the necessary information about the flight arrival time and parking number, as well as about the presence of special categories of passengers on board from telegrams, automated control systems and other information sources.

Disembarkation of passengers

When disembarking passengers, the agent must greet them politely and indicate the route for further travel.

If there is an unaccompanied child, the agent accepts it from the flight attendant under personal responsibility until the child is handed over to the meeters.

The agent must be able to politely and correctly give the most complete information to passengers, if they need it.

Required information for passengers

Passengers' route from the exit from the aircraft to the exit from the terminal or from the transit desk must be marked with clear, clear signs indicating the direction of movement, and the places of checkpoints (passport and customs control) must also be indicated.

2.4. Technological process baggage handling and transportation

Baggage handling is an essential element of the passenger experience and is critical to the smooth operation of airlines at an airport.

Baggage handling systems must be capable of sorting large numbers of pieces of baggage quickly and with a high degree of reliability.

The efficiency of baggage handling systems will ensure that the following fundamental points are taken into account:

baggage must be moved quickly, simply and with a minimum number of operations;

· Baggage handling in the terminal building should be consistent with operations on the apron, as well as the volume and nature of traffic;

· baggage flows should not intersect with the traffic flows of passengers, cargo, directions of movement of crew members or vehicles;

· it should be possible to process transfer baggage in the sorting areas for outgoing baggage;

· arrival of baggage on the apron should not be delayed by control or check-in procedures;

space must be provided to accommodate the entire volume of luggage in one place for security control;

· devices for handling bulky baggage should be provided;

· in the event of a failure of baggage handling systems, it must be possible to handle it in another way.

Baggage handling conveyor systems must ensure the movement of luggage inside the terminal building at the highest possible speed. Such systems should also provide for the reception, delivery or transfer of baggage.

For the convenience of passengers, the required number of baggage carts is located at the entrances to the terminal building and baggage claim areas.

2.4.1. Handling of outgoing baggage

Once the baggage has been delivered from the check-in area, it is usually transported by a conveyor system to the appropriate stacking area, where it is sorted and loaded into baggage containers or baggage carts for delivery to the aircraft and loading.

The baggage handling time in the departure area is critical in the technological chain of processes ending with the departure of the aircraft, and depends on the close coordination of work throughout this chain, including the time required to receive, sort, transport and load baggage onto the aircraft.

The service rules applied by airlines may require separate positions for loading containers for each flight or to fulfill requirements related to the features of the route, service priorities (first class, business class, transfer destination, etc.).

The outbound baggage picking area should be located in close proximity to the incoming baggage storage area so that the same containers and trolleys have a minimum access distance from one area to another, while ensuring that the same personnel can be used in the areas.

The following additional facilities and equipment may be placed inside the baggage handling area:

devices for safety control;

· television surveillance systems for the purpose of reviewing those areas where some kind of incident is possible;

In non-automated systems that have only one sorting conveyor belt serving a large number of check-in counters, serious problems can arise if the conveyor belt fails. If there are two or more continuously circulating sorting belts, any of the check-in counters can continue to operate even if one of the belts fails. It is especially important for large terminals to ensure the continuity of the check-in process by making provision for appropriate sorting provision in the event of a partial equipment failure. Examples of non-automated systems are shown in fig. 10-12.

Rice. 12. Departure baggage sorting system with several sources of its supply

In semi-automatic systems, baggage tags are read by an employee of the handling system. The tag code is entered into the computer, which ensures the movement of luggage to the appropriate point on the conveyor. The luggage is then manually transferred to the luggage trolley. There are other semi-automatic systems that use rotating pallets or a slat conveyor for sorting efficiency. Both systems are controlled by a computer, which is serviced by an operator.

Automated baggage handling systems have two advantages: lower labor costs and faster transportation.

The elements of the outgoing baggage handling operations, which are carried out on the way from check-in to final processing before loading on board the aircraft, are fully automated. Such systems include "recognition" of the final destination of baggage and its delivery to the place of loading on a particular flight.

Airports use the following automated baggage sorting systems.

Inclined pallet sorting system

The tilted pallet sorting system consists of an endless belt of pallets in a closed system forming a loop that has changed incline or sloped at the appropriate points to unload luggage into the appropriate sorting area.

Inclined pallet sorting systems typically operate at speeds of 90 to 100 meters per minute, depending on the dimensions of the pallet, with 80 to 100 pieces per minute at any point on the conveyor. The loading of such a system is usually carried out using a feeding conveyor system.

The side conveyors typically use a continuous conveyor belt that has an inclination of about 30 degrees with respect to the main conveyor pan.

Loading conveyors have a normal capacity of 30-42 bags per minute. The control system includes a device that remembers, within a time period, the presence or absence of pieces of luggage on each pallet within the closed route of the main conveyor. Identification of individual pieces of baggage during sorting can be performed both before and after loading. Laser scanning or hand coding of this luggage tag can be performed on the supply line of the conveyor supplying the baggage conveyor with pallets.

Identification of a piece of baggage on a pallet is carried out by laser scanners located above and on the sides of the pallet, provided that a scanning angle of 180 degrees is provided. The pallets are unloaded to each side of the main pallet conveyor by tilting the pallet more than thirty degrees to allow the luggage to slide off onto the unloading conveyors. The maximum unloading volume from pallets to the container should correspond to the capacity of the conveyor belt and be between 80 and 100 pallets per minute. Unloading is carried out, as a rule, into rather smooth metal sliding boxes onto conveyors.

Where the pallet conveyor is equipped with only conveyors, the pallets are unloaded at a rate that is controlled to match conveyor and pallet conveyor performance. In operation, the control system provides an indication of the loaded or empty status of each pallet, as well as providing an indication of the destination of each piece of baggage located on such a pallet. Such a system allows the transport system with pallets to perform both unloading and the use of such a conveyor for temporary storage of pieces of luggage. Tilt-pallet sorting schemes are typically 0.8 to 1.0 m wide and 1.6 to 1.7 m high, including a one meter clearance for baggage over the pallet. The standard load is defined as 50 kg per pallet, but this figure can be changed by the supplier.

Sorting conveyor system

When using such systems, one of the methods of removing baggage from the belt is used (for example, by pushing, pulling, dropping, using special reflectors, etc.) in order to provide an automated sorting process for baggage moving along the conveyor belts of the baggage transport system. These systems are generally very flexible in terms of configuration and are most often used in the centralized sorting system for outgoing baggage and baggage handling areas.

In these systems, baggage is transported in the terminal from different points of arrival (check-in counters, transfers, etc.) and flows onto one or more main conveyor belts that converge in a centralized baggage sorting area. Pieces of baggage pass through the control of laser scanners or manually decoded areas to identify and determine the place where the baggage was sent. From this place, the system, using its devices, directs the movement of pieces of baggage along the conveyor system to the intended sorting place. After arriving at the specified sorting point, a signal is received from the control systems in order to distribute, using special baggage devices, to the exact area where it should be accumulated and sorted, or to another conveyor. Sorting conveyor systems reach a width of one meter in order to be able to process luggage places the following dimensions: 1 m long, 0.6 m wide, 0.76 m high and weighing fifty kilograms. Distributors, which may be located along both sides of the conveyor, sort at a rate of eighty pieces of baggage per minute. Dedicated distributors can sort conveyorized luggage that has irregular dimensions, such as bags of golf clubs, but at a slightly slower rate.

Belt sorting transport system

Belt sorting transport systems consist of a certain number of carts connected together and driven by friction clutches located on a ring road at a speed of twenty meters per minute. Each of the carts consists of a chassis 1.6 meters long and 1.4 meters wide, a conveyor belt mounted on it at an angle of 90 degrees to the track. The trolley is also provided with a motor to drive the conveyor belt and a generator to power the motor, and a control unit to turn the motor on or off.

When the trolley approaches the baggage loading area, the control unit turns on the belt drive motor in synchronism with the feed conveyor in order to receive the baggage pieces without stopping the trolley or reducing or increasing its speed. As soon as the luggage is loaded onto the trolley, the destination code is entered into it, which is available in the computer tracking system when passing through the check-in counter. While the loaded trolley moves to the designated sorting point, its conveying belt and the distributing belt simultaneously begin to unload the luggage. In the event of malfunctions associated with the destruction of the trolley or database, the control unit of this trolley senses the situation and immediately stops the download.

An important feature of this system is that when loading and unloading luggage, physical impact (pushing and pulling) in relation to things is excluded, which ensures the safety of luggage from damage. The maximum dimensions of baggage handled in the system are 1.0 meters long, 4.0 meters wide and 0.7 meters high. The trolley plus rails are only 0.6m high from the floor and can be steered with a 4.0m radius curve and work with slopes up to 18 degrees. The rails can be used with single trolleys, trolleys with a large number of pieces of luggage, and luggage trolleys with non-standard dimensions.

The capacity of a single track system ranges from 3600 to more than pieces of baggage per hour, depending on the ratio of the systems for the movement of single pieces, or in groups, or with a large number of pieces.

Rice. 13. Automated baggage sorting belt type

With the growth in the size of airports and their terminals with equipment scattered throughout larger area airport, there is a need to quickly transport a large number of pieces of baggage from a large number of reception points located in different places to almost equally numerous and dispersed places of its reception.

Transportation and sorting is carried out by special carts, in which information is entered indicating the destination of the contents of this cart within the location of the sorting and transport systems. Such systems often include several conveyors as connecting links between the areas served and more highly automated transport systems.

The systems are of particular interest when there is a need for long travel paths, a short connection time is required, as well as a high functional flexibility of the system. Because each cart is individually controlled, it can generally operate at higher speeds than a conveyor.

One such line has a processing capacity of two hundred pieces of baggage per minute.

Rice. 14. Sorting system with trolleys having a given destination

In baggage sorting systems, the identification of each piece plays an important role. Currently, several methods are used to identify baggage during sorting:

1. Using special cards. During the check-in process, each piece of baggage is given its own number, the same as the one on the special plate located on the vehicle, which ensures that the baggage is delivered directly to its destination. The code designation of the special card placed on the luggage tag is read by a laser scanning device. The decrypted information is analyzed by a computer, which determines the appropriate sorting place, after which the baggage goes to this place using baggage transport systems. Such information may also be used to sort transfer baggage as well as mixed baggage.

2. Barcode designations. In order to unify processes between various airlines IATA and ATA have developed requirements and standards in this area. Barcode standards are adopted in IATA Resolution 740 on baggage tags. Resolution 740 establishes the requirements that baggage tags printed after 06/01/94 have special number to work with the concept of a special card in both alphabetic / numeric and barcode designations; further Resolution 740 recommends the use of the same type of procedures for the transfer of baggage both on the same route and from place to place.

The main components of a barcode-based system are the barcode itself, the tag or label on which it is printed, the printer that is used to prepare the tag, and the scanner that is used to read and decode the code. The barcode system can receive data from other sources (like a special IATA card) and usually transmits its decrypted data to a baggage sorting system, data to a communication system, or both.

The sorting barcode can be printed either vertically (that is, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tag), or horizontally, or in orthogonal projection (in both directions). The final decision, set out in IATA Resolution 740, indicates that a combined horizontal and vertical (orthogonal) style is preferred.

3.Automatic baggage tags. The baggage tag identification card, which is used by automatic printers, is a tag consisting of two folded pieces of paper or plastic, usually 50.8 mm wide, which are a strip of material with adhesive properties on one side and a heat-sensitive coating on the other side. The printed tag is passed through the handle of the luggage and glued together by pressing the sticky parts of the tag together.

Automation of the process includes the printing of baggage tags directly at the point of issue. Direct issuance of baggage tags printed on the spot under the control of the airline, a special agent or the airport dispatch system (DCS).

As part of the passenger check-in process, the agent tells DCS how many baggage tags to issue for this check-in process. The DCS system then instructs the agent's tag printer to print and dispense the required number of baggage tags. Having received such a message, the printer turns on the control of various information and printing it on the tag (destination, passenger name, etc.), as well as the numbers of baggage tags.

Barcode scanners can be either hand-held or stationary. Hand-held scanning devices are usually used in places to decode baggage of sorting systems for its re-introduction into the system when for one reason or another it did not pass check-in the first time, or for the initial entry into the sorting system of transfer baggage that has lost or illegible code marks. Handheld scanners are also being used by some airlines to read baggage data to link issues related to both baggage and passengers; in this case, the scanner can be connected to a special radio-operated terminal for direct access to the local computer.

A fixed laser barcode scanner is usually mounted on multi-link lines adapted to read tags located on the sides or top of passing baggage. In systems designed to read orthogonally printed barcodes, scanners that are simpler and relatively cheaper can be used. Such scanners may be called line scanners because they have one guard for their reader, which is a bright red line across the conveyor. Due to their small size, line scanners can be positioned to read information from above through special windows or openings that can be located between adjacent conveyor sections. If the barcodes on the tags are printed in one direction, then omnidirectional scanners must be used. Omnidirectional scanners use two or more lasers or sophisticated enough optics to be able to read the information on any tag in any direction. Since such scanners have enough big sizes, they cannot be used to read from below conveyors. Omnidirectional scanners are more complex, more expensive, and in some cases less reliable than their linear counterparts.

In the future, the development of automated baggage sorting systems involves the use of radio frequency tags, which will be used instead of bar codes. These RFID baggage tags make it easy to track the path of baggage throughout its journey and will provide additional benefits in the future in ensuring that baggage is safe and correctly routed to its destination. Currently, the disadvantage of such tags is their high cost, but it is expected that their price will decrease over the next few years and eventually become quite affordable for the use of these tags in baggage operations.

2.4.3. Handling of transfer and transit baggage

Transfer baggage is baggage carried from an arriving aircraft for transfer to a departing aircraft, either on the same airline (online) or on another airline (interline). In this regard, the systems and procedures to be used for this process should be chosen with particular care. In addition, reported connection times may vary depending on baggage transfer times, which may vary from airport to airport.

At airports where transfer baggage must clear customs, it should be possible for passengers to recheck baggage in the immediate vicinity of the customs control area.

In cases where transit baggage must go through customs, it should also be possible to return the baggage to the aircraft of this airline.

Transfer baggage on the line is delivered to the airline's baggage handling area for sorting and delivery to the appropriate aircraft. In some circumstances, baggage may be delivered directly to the departing aircraft (tail-to-tail or ramp transfer).

Intra-airline baggage transfer is carried out by delivering it to a designated accommodation location where it is collected by the transfer agent or received by the carrier to sort the baggage and deliver it to the aircraft. The location where the baggage must be checked in is usually in the zone associated with the airline's baggage claim area or in the central area, depending on the agreement reached with the airlines on this issue. This area must be protected from the effects of adverse weather conditions and ensure the safety of luggage from damage.

Depending on the method of securing checked baggage that is adopted, it may be necessary to provide physical access to the baggage claim area for additional controls.

2.4.4. Handling of incoming baggage

The flow of arriving baggage travels from the aircraft to the point of issue. Two functional areas are associated with this process, namely:

· baggage storage area, where it is unloaded from containers or trolleys onto the appropriate conveyors that deliver it to the place of distribution;

baggage claim area, in which baggage is sorted out by passengers.

Airport management and airlines should work closely together to develop procedures related to the flow of arriving passengers and baggage. Simplified customs control procedures are also relevant to these tasks.

Unloading and unpacking area

The baggage unstacking area consists of an area for unloading baggage from containers or trolleys to devices for its distribution, including parking spaces for passing containers, areas for maneuvering and providing access from baggage unloading points. When considering the issue related to the unpacking of baggage, the following provisions should be taken into account:

Access from the platform to the place of baggage delivery should be easy and separated from the exit;

Where possible, it is desirable to organize the movement of baggage in one direction;

It should be possible to accommodate associated devices that ensure operation in situations where queues may arise;

The entrances should be wide enough to allow the passage of vehicles for unloading, as well as for maneuvering after unloading;

Availability of appropriate markings for baggage unloading points at the entrance to the unloading area;

The unloading area must have sufficient area to receive baggage tractors / tractors and ensure the reception of the train;

Availability as much as possible free zone inside the baggage unpacking area in order to ensure the free movement of vehicles;

Estimated dimensions of the passages, ensuring the transportation of all types of containers;

Easy and quick access to short-term container storage areas and to the container picking area associated with this baggage handling area;

Appropriate devices should be provided for the rapid unloading and movement of transfer baggage to the departure area, which is very important;

Communication between baggage handling systems;

In the future, space should be provided to accommodate the entire volume of luggage in order to carry out security controls;

Oversized baggage handling devices;

In the event of a failure of the baggage handling system, it must be possible to suspend its handling.

For the convenience of passengers, the required number of baggage carts should be placed at the entrances to the terminal building and at the baggage claim areas. For these purposes, special areas should be provided.

Baggage claim area- this is the area where the passenger has access and where he can find his luggage, identify it and receive it. On domestic flights greeters usually have access to this area, while for international flights greeters are located directly at the exits from the government control (customs) areas through which the passenger passes with his luggage. There are four main groups of devices that deliver baggage:

linear racks ( counters) are mechanized devices that are used only in the operation of small aircraft and at airports that transport a small number of passengers;

linear conveyors - these are somewhat complicated devices that move baggage to the location of the arrived passenger. When using linear containers, the passenger does not have to look for luggage along the entire rack. Usually at the end of the conveyor there is a belt rotating on a roller, on which there is unclaimed baggage in a timely manner;

In order for passengers to easily find their baggage dispenser, relevant information must be organized. The information system must also serve the area from the side of the airfield, where it must be indicated for employees unloading baggage the place of its delivery to the corresponding baggage device. The height of the dispenser and the speed of its operation must be such that the luggage can be easily removed by the passenger (maximum 0.45 m height for a belt with a slope, or 0.35 m for a belt without a slope moving at a speed of 36 m per minute).

Direct baggage dispensing to a closed conveyor dispenser allows adjustments to the placement of baggage on the conveyor, so this type of dispenser is generally preferred by most airlines.

For unclaimed baggage, a special room for its storage must be provided. It must be located directly close to the baggage claim area and must be accessible to airline personnel.

Provision should also be made for counters or office space within the baggage claim area, which may accommodate airline personnel or a handling agent to contact passengers in the event of lost baggage. The exact recommendations on this matter vary widely for each airport and should be checked directly with the airline.

2.4.5. Organization of baggage handling

Departure baggage handling

Before servicing the aircraft on departure, all personnel involved in baggage handling must familiarize themselves with the information about the flight and the features of loading baggage for a particular type of aircraft.

The link of loaders receives a task, prepares the necessary means of packing for baggage, mechanization means for loading baggage into the aircraft and installs containers (luggage trolleys) along the baggage conveyor of the corresponding check-in section.

Baggage set

The purpose of baggage assembly is to properly sort it in accordance with accepted standards and prepare it for loading onto an aircraft.

Baggage is completed according to flights and destinations. In order to avoid errors (reloads), each piece of baggage must be checked for the presence of a tag indicating the flight number and destination.

The complete set is made with obligatory calculation of pieces of luggage. Particular attention is drawn to baggage issued with special distinctive tags (“priority”, VIP, first, business class, etc.).

Baggage of transfer passengers booked on several carriers, as well as baggage of first and business class passengers, members of the frequent flyer program is packed on a separate baggage trolley or in a separate container.

Sorting of transfer baggage into bundling equipment is carried out separately according to destinations.
