A comparison of whole life cycle costs of robotic, semi-automated, and manual build airport baggage handling systems

This thesis proposes that a baggage handling system (BHS) environment can be defined and coupled to a whole life cycle cost (WLCC NPV) model. The results from specific experiments using the model can be used as the basis by which to commercially compare BHS flight build types of any capacity, and BH...
