چکیده
The main objective of this project is to demonstrate the tracking capability of a single Luggage Tracking Unit (LTU). This device is configured to record GPS fixes every 15 minutes and transmit the data to the user via text message or email. Ambient light is detected using a phototransistor that indicates if the luggage has been opened. A barometric pressure sensor is used to determine when the airplane is taking off or landing, and therefore avoid the use of cellular communication in order to comply with FAA regulations. A GPS server is implemented that hosts OpenGTS, an open source software, allowing users to login and observe the current and previous locations of their luggage. Index Terms — Tracking, GPS, GSM, cellular network, OpenGTS server, phototransistor, barometric pressure.

The Development of Reusable Luggage Tag with the Internet of Things for Mobile Tracking and Environmental Sustainability
With more than two billion passengers worldwide travelling by air each year, vast amounts of lost luggage and disposable paper adhesive luggage tags are pushing the aviation industry to improve luggage tracking and reduce the one-off adhesive luggage paper tags. This paper reviews the current application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the luggage handling system and proposes the In...
متن کاملLocalized Detection of Abandoned Luggage
Abandoned luggage represents a potential threat to public safety. Identifying objects as luggage, identifying the owners of such objects, and identifying whether owners have left luggage behind are the three main problems requiring solution. This paper proposes two techniques which are “foreground-mask sampling” to detect luggage with arbitrary appearance and “selective tracking” to locate and ...
متن کاملRapid killing of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) on surfaces using heat: application to luggage.
BACKGROUND The resistance of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) to chemical insecticides has motivated the development of non-chemical control methods such as heat treatment. However, because bed bugs tend to hide in cracks or crevices, their behavior incidentally generates a thermally insulated microenvironment for themselves. Bed bugs located on the outer surface of luggage are less insulated an...
متن کاملBiomechanical and physiological analyses of a luggage-pulling task.
The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of physical stresses on two-wheeled carry-on luggage users in terms of biomechanics and work physiology. Based on 3D kinematics, a 3D inverse dynamic biomechanical model having fifteen segments was developed to evaluate a one-hand pulling task. Joint reaction forces, joint moments and physiological variables (energy expenditure and heart rate...
متن کاملIrradiation Decontamination of Postal Mail and High-Risk Luggage
In October 2001, first class letters, which were laced with Bacillus anthracis spores, were sent to political and media targets resulting in five deaths and 22 illnesses, significant mail service disruption, and economic loss. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy established a technical task force on mail decontamination that included three key agencies: the National Institut...
