Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport is testing Vanderlande’s autonomous vehicle solution FLEET to transfer bags and improve the experience for passengers.

Customers who take part in the pilot programme will utilise one of four self-bag-drop units, and identify the airline for their connecting flight using a touch screen.

An individual piece of luggage will then be transferred by each FLEET vehicle, taking the passenger’s bag to the appropriate baggage belt.
