Abstract: The Radio Frequency Identification is used to collect the baggage of the passengers in the easier way. The radio frequency waves are employed to identify the bags of the passengers. RFID reader is employed to get the information from the RFID tags. The RFID tags are attached to the bags of the passengers. The tags contain different types of codes like ten digit numbers (approximately). The computer system contains the information of the particular passengers corresponding to the particular codes in the RFID tags. The codes in the tags are received by the RFID reader and those codes are sent to the system. The details of the passengers are stored correspondingly to the codes.

The information about the passengers is sent through the PIC16F877 to the LCD display. MAX232 IC is used for the two way communication between the PIC16F877 and the system. Then the information of the passenger is displayed according to the order of the bags coming in the conveyor belt. The passengers will collect their bags according to the order in the display. By this passengers can avoid mishandling of baggage. The RFID has the ability to read at longer distances and around challenging environments, to store large amounts of data on the tag, to integrate with sensors and to communicate with external devices.
