Issues for Consideration 10
Regulatory Baggage care and control Tagged bags maintained in controlled area Active or inactive tag Airline contract of carriage Transfer of responsibility from passenger to carrier Bag tag document status Reconciliation of boarded bag and passenger Staffing roles and responsibilities Receipt of bag by airline employee / authorized agent 11
Initial Costs 12
Initial Costs, continued Facility Modifications Security checkpoints Check-in areas Bag screening areas Baggage make up areas Telecommunication rooms Infrastructure pathways Services Consulting and design support services Service contracts Certifications Continued Staff Time 13
Recurring Costs Ongoing Systems Maintenance Downtime Software errors Bag tag jams Customer Confidence/Satisfaction Kiosk malfunction Language barrier Misunderstandings Attachment of tag to baggage Liability for Customer Safety Loss of "Competitive Edge" for Airlines 14
Planning Assessment of Business Case Operational Assessment airport or airline self service operation and associated processes such as baggage drop off and reconciliation Assessment of Installations installation of kiosks, infrastructure, signage, queuing space, agent counters, and bag drop off locations. Roadmap for Further deployments information regarding planned deployment by a given airport or airline. Design Recommendation for implementation 15
Performance Transaction Throughput number of passengers processed, time to process, wait time, and processing delays Transaction Success Rate breakdown of successful transactions, transactions requiring assistance, and failed transactions Baggage Drop-Off Throughput breakdown of self-tagged baggage per passenger Rework Rates and Throughput breakdown of transactions that required re-processing due to failure identified by passengers, number of bags, and time to process Throughput Comparison between self-tag and agent-tag applications addressing number and duration of passengers and bags processed and assessed against the resources required 16
Industry Convergence on the Issues IATA Bags Ready to Go First phase of Recommended Practice completed Preparation of the Implementation Guide set for mid November ACI CBD and ST Working Group Active with IATA RP preparation Working partner in preparing Implementation Guide Looking for US Airport Sites to prototype installations TSA setting policies Ready to participate in US prototype sites TRB Preparing Self Tagging Decision Making Tool Conducting Case Study work at Canadian and European sites Looking for US Airport sites to validate field survey information 17
