RETE DI TRASPORTO PER BAGAGLI IN AEROPORTI

摘要

A baggage-handling system, especially for airports, in which baggage is moved separately through the terminal from the passengers but generally in the same direction to and from the aircraft, the baggage route through the terminal structure being below the floor over which the passengers move. Between the terminal structure and the aircraft the passengers and baggage are transported by a vehicle which can be raised and lowered in a passenger compartment above a floor while the baggage is accommodated therebelow. According to the invention, in the terminal the baggage transportation system comprises a network of conveyors or tracks which have paths extending parallel to one another generally in the direction of passenger and baggage movement and transverse tracks or paths as well.
