- Abstract
- Airlines are liable for lost baggage claims, damaged luggage, or lost baggage in transit. Every year hundreds of millions are lost in settling the claims of the traveler related to baggage. This causes inconvenience and dissatisfaction for the traveler with airlines and baggage movements. For the long-distance multiple stop overs and connecting flights, travelers are always worried about their baggage check in to the connecting flights. With the help of the block chain technology, it is impossible to manipulate and tamper data and records and hence it creates traceability, transparency, and immutability. The paper discusses the proposed model of integrating RFID along with block chain technology in the baggage claim and proposed a conceptual model to trace the journey the baggage so as to locate without delay. The model will integrate various departments, verticals that operate on the airports and create a seamless service of transparency for promoting efficiency and reduces losses. In the proposed model third party service is involved which facilitate traveler in baggage drop off on to their selected point of collection within a city. After required standard operating procedures at the drop off location traveler can directly report to airport as per their reporting time. The baggage will be assigned an RFID and will be put under block chain which will be simultaneously updated with time stamped activity on block chain as per the movement of baggage. As each node will be having a copy of baggage details it is very easy for the airline to track the movement of baggage in a transparent and efficient way. Proposed models discuss a model of baggage drop off on selected location which in turn will be put under block chain for easy traceability. With this model airline companies can improve collaboration, provide more convenient services and above all reduce the cost incurred in baggage claim drastically. The paper discusses the block chain model for traveler which can be applied in cargo handling in future. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
