A contract to produce a new integrated baggage traffic system for Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 has been awarded to Siemens by the Mace Group. The design will be used to implement new detection and communications systems and a network of display screens for the management of baggage information used by baggage handlers and tug drivers. Using radar detection and advanced LED displays, the system will provide live baggage information including the availability and location of arrivals, departures and transfers. Load and offload positions and data for directional, call forward and departures will be displayed using green and red traffic lights.
