Generally speaking, if passengers in the baggage on board the flight, airlines usually takes several hours or even several days to find the lost luggage. Of course, also have a lot of luggage will never find his own master. However, if the luggage tracking system, this problem may be becoming a full history.

A so-called "smart suitcase" refers to the built-in GPS tracking system of modern luggage, this luggage is often able to send location information to the host, and can even detect that they are in "lost State" after the initiative with airlines.

It is reported that the leading European aircraft maker Airbus group, research and development companies (Airbus) as early as in last year's Paris Air Show (Paris Air Show) launched a new program called "smart suitcase" concept design. When luggage is Airbus, the concept of Germany Telecom T-Systems, MoWA (RIMOWA) formed jointly developed, named "Bag2Go".

Airbus said the Bag2G built-in has an intelligent system, a system with passenger's Smartphone or Tablet PC via a wireless connection. Built-in Bag2Go luggage has a display, passengers simply enter your flight information to Smartphone applications will be able to share this information with airlines. Then, the airlines will generate a barcode electronic luggage checked, and send it to the Bag2Go on the display. In this way, no matter where the luggage can be through the baggage check is identified on the monitor.

And is also equipped with a communication module Bag2Go intelligent luggage, including 1 SIM card and GPS positioning system. Smartphone app can use GPS positioning system tracking luggage on the luggage, or even be able to let you know whether the suitcase had been opened. In addition, inside the suitcase and two sensor boxes weighing, weight will be displayed on the electronic baggage label, in order to allow passengers to ensure that bags are not overweight at boxing.

Worth mentioning is that the United States mobile operator at and t in a Conference in May this year showed his "next generation technology" (next-generation technologies) vision. AT&T said he hoped that standards of traceability technology can be built either through tags on the items such as luggage and briefcases. In this way, briefcase or suitcase compatible IT systems will be able to talk directly to the airlines and even facilitate airlines to the next directly tagging luggage to a user at the hotel.

At present, these products are still in the development stage, and need to get approval from federal regulators to target the mass market. But data show that only in April, America's major airlines this year, there were up to 141,000 baggage handling blunders, equivalent to 3 out of every 1000 passengers suitcases face similar events.
