Real Time Airport Luggage Tracking System

The number of passengers has increased by 5 percent last few decades also the loss or mishandling of luggage in airports has also been increased by 10 percent, thereby tremendously raising its associated costs. The RFID based tracker does not constantly monitors or detects possible errors in a timely manner. There are a variety of gadgets in the market but all have some issues such as energy consumption, position, portability, etc. The current research provides a novel idea to track the luggage in real time with the help of a microcontroller system and GSM module, which will be placed inside the luggage. Using wireless communication techniques the proposed paper has been designed. In the real world application, an airline employee enters a passenger's information into the system database which is connected to the device and then it will associate the device to a module. Whenever the luggage is in motion, the device navigates the luggage according to its position. The proposed system focuses on increasing the monitoring details when compared to current monitoring systems because it allows the individual tracking of luggage. Power consumption with the inclusion of accelerometer, the proposed idea therefore consumes less power.
