Abstract:
In an airport baggage handling system bag information, flight information and airport topology information are provided to a central processor which determines a path for the bag through the handling system. The bag is scanned at various points along the path and the scan time is compared with a predetermined arrival time for the bag at the scan point. A bag is marked at risk if it arrives at a scan point after the predetermined time and the system may suggest an alternative handling path for the bag if it is determined that the risk of the bag not making an outbound flight is too high.

Claim (Index 37):
A method of tracking the passage of items from an arrival point to a departure point of an item handling system, comprising the steps of:\n acquiring information about the identity of the items, the arrival and departure parameters for the item and the topology of the location through which the item may pass between arrival and departure; for an item, defining a path though the item handling system, the path including a plurality of checkpoints at which the item is identified and recorded; at a plurality of the checkpoints, determining a status of an item based on the time of arrival of the item at the checkpoint compared to a target time of arrival, and assigning a status from a plurality of statuses to the item, the plurality including a status indicating that the item is at risk of not arriving at the departure point by a required time; and where an item is assigned an at risk status, determining and communicating a suggested remedial action to a controller.
