Enhanced airport operations: Automated baggage dropoff and boarding pass generation for travelers

This report investigates the design and implementation of a more advanced automated system aimed at transforming airport operations through advanced baggage drop-off and boarding pass generation for passengers. Especially on public holidays or any festival, it will be helpful in removing the queues in airports for check-in and boarding-pass generation, which will save much time and make it faster; due to a straightforward interface, there will be less interaction with airport staff and the luggage mishandling will be less. The fundamental objectives of the project include creating a user-friendly and responsive self-check-in kiosk that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology for a seamless baggage handling experience. An innovative function of the device is the inclusion of a camera that captures pics of the luggage and saves it with the passenger’s data and prints a QR code on the passenger’s boarding pass; by scanning the QR code, passengers can see the pictures of their baggage. The QR code improves safety and guarantees the green tracking of baggage. Furthermore, this system is for general purposes, which allows all the travelers of different airlines to use a single system for check-in and generating their boarding passes. This method will optimize space utilization at airports and cut down operational fees. The reason for the report is to feature the development of a flexible, scalable, and steady kiosk machine appropriate for both vast and small airports, accepting weighty luggage and catering to the desires of diverse airlines. Implementing an IoT system ensures a streamlined check-in method, significantly improving the tour experience for passengers. The record concludes that the generalized luggage drop-off system not only offers operational performance but also sets a brand-new trend for automated airport offerings.
