商品描述
The competition between airports demands higher-quality services to satisfy passengers. A Baggage Handling System (BHS) serves functions such as baggage sorting, screening, and storage. A successful BHS means bags move between areas as travellers do. Handlers load/unload bags and transfer them between the airport's areas. Automation can save money and bring safety and operational benefits. Warehouses as well as the automotive industry are more advanced technologically in comparison to the airport and especially the baggage handling business. The concept of the Baggage Factory (BF) is an approach (based on Industry 4.0) that simplifies the processes from the moment passengers drop off their bags at check-in till the destination (chutes, carousels, and so forth).
Airport Baggage Handling Systems: Using the Baggage Factory Approach to Support AI Optimisation, Decisions, and Design Processes introduces the features of the BF concept and presents how BHS designers can use AI technology to tackle many BHS problems and concerns. The book bridges the gap between airport BHS designers and experts in AI and optimisation. It describes in detail the field of baggage handling using algorithms for sorting bags or optimising the flow. The way the systems are designed is discussed, and a behind-the-scenes look at the BHS industry and how it affects the daily lives of travellers is presented.
International and multidisciplinary in approach, this book is an ideal resource for practitioners, students, and researchers involved in the air transportation industry, Tourism, Systems Engineering, Layout and Design, Artificial Intelligence, Assembly Automation, and Logistics fields.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
機場之間的競爭要求提供更高品質的服務以滿足乘客需求。行李處理系統（Baggage Handling System, BHS）執行行李分類、檢查和儲存等功能。成功的 BHS 意味著行李能夠隨著旅客的移動而在各個區域之間流動。處理人員負責裝卸行李並在機場的各個區域之間轉移行李。自動化可以節省成本並帶來安全和運營上的好處。與機場，特別是行李處理業務相比，倉庫和汽車產業在技術上更為先進。行李工廠（Baggage Factory, BF）的概念是一種基於工業4.0的方式，簡化了從乘客在登機時交付行李到目的地的過程（如滑道、旋轉盤等）。
《機場行李處理系統：使用行李工廠方法支持人工智慧優化、決策和設計過程》介紹了 BF 概念的特點，並展示了 BHS 設計師如何利用人工智慧技術來解決許多 BHS 的問題和關注點。這本書彌合了機場 BHS 設計師與人工智慧和優化專家的鴻溝。它詳細描述了行李處理的領域，使用算法進行行李分類或優化流動。書中討論了系統的設計方式，並提供了行李處理系統產業的幕後觀察，以及它如何影響旅客的日常生活。
這本書在國際和多學科的視角下，是從事航空運輸業、旅遊、系統工程、佈局與設計、人工智慧、組裝自動化和物流領域的實務工作者、學生和研究人員的理想資源。
作者簡介
Dr Brahim Rekiek earned his license in Physics from the Université Abdel Malek Essaadi, Morocco, in 1993, his D.E.S. in products and robotics in 1996, and a Ph.D. degree in artificial intelligence in 2000 from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. He has worked for more than 20 years at Fabricom Airports Systems and Beumer in the main sectors of airport BHS, and Automotive and Logistics. He has experience in a variety of projects related to the design and analysis of baggage handling systems for airports worldwide, including tasks such as layout, capacity analysis, and simulation. Dr Brahim has published many scientific papers on the subject of optimisation, design, and layout and has supervised many scholars and industrial research projects in the last 20 years as well as published one book.
