... The impact may also include common bag drop. The airport must develop a common use strategy as an underlying passenger processing methodology.

... Potential costs in facility and infrastructure changes 3. May also include staffing costs at the security checkpoint Is a centralized baggage handling system with baggage sortation available where self-tagging and common bag drop are being considered?
From page 54...
... Airport staff and consultant manhours for planning and design, conducting time and motion studies 2. Potential costs in facility and infrastructure changes Are check-in kiosks (airline- dedicated or common use self service)
From page 55...
... 1. Airport staff and consultant manhours for planning and preparation of procedures Are there adequate airport service management processes and on-site technical support to maintain systems and hardware (kiosks, bag drops, technology infrastructure)
From page 56...
... 1. Airport staff and consultant manhours for planning and preparation of change management procedures 2.
From page 57...
... 1. Airport staff and consultant manhours for planning, and design Are locations needed for passengers to weigh and possibly repack their bags prior to approaching the bag drop?
From page 58...
... Potential costs for airport staff towards the execution of the plan Is the airport interested in a home printing tag solution? One method of selftagging which is evolving includes printing tags at home on the passenger's personal printer.
From page 59...
... Potential costs for airport staff towards the execution of the plan Will the airline change their acceptance rules to allow printing of tags earlier? If all kiosks are able to print bag tags, it is possible that passengers may want to drop their bags earlier.
From page 60...
... Potential cost includes upgrades to existing baggage handling system equipment: hardware/software Does the planned self-tagging bag drop have a securely controlled induction point to the baggage system? The TSA is probably going to require that a passenger or unauthorized person not have access to baggage that has been accepted and the baggage tag activated, unless under supervision by the airline representative.
From page 61...
... Potential cost includes upgrades to existing kiosks: hardware/software 3. Potential cost includes printers and paper stock Can airline software support self-tagging, including printing of bag tags, active/inactive tags, BSMs, etc.?
From page 62...
... Potential cost includes changes/additions to the current IT infrastructure If active/inactive tags are required, can the software accommodate this requirement? The host software must support the production of active/inactive bag tags at the self-tagging kiosks and bag drop locations.
