An integral system comprising a central computer platform (11) on a network that centralizes information related to the control of passengers and baggage to which are connected: control equipment (12) for passengers and baggage which measures a parameter of the carry-on baggage (21) used by a classifier to determine a category of the carry-on baggage (21) and which is compared with a condition defined by a transportation company; a payment point (13) providing the passenger with means for carrying out the pending payment, if the previous comparison indicates a pending payment; and an access management subsystem (14) that enables/disables the access to areas defined by the transportation company based on the previous comparison and whether the passenger has carried out, if they were so indicated previously, the pending payment in the payment point (13).
A system for controlling passengers and baggage characterized by comprising:
The system according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the condition defined by the passenger and baggage transportation company is selected from the dimensions, weight, weight/volume ratio, color, shape and type of baggage condition.
The system according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control equipment (12) further comprises a boarding pass reader (101) and a passenger ID reader (102).
The system according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one sensor (23, 23′, 23″, 25) of the inner space (20) is a camera.
The system according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the inner space (20) has a base (22) tilted with respect to a horizontal plane and that has a weight meter.
The system according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control equipment (12) is configured to activate a printing of tags on the carry-on baggage (21) based on the determined category of the carry-on baggage (21), the activated printing of tags being performed in the payment point (2, 13).
The system according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that it further comprises a drop-off point for baggage to be checked (3) in order to receive tagged carry-on baggage (21) to be checked in the payment point (2, 13).
The system according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the central computer platform (11) is connected on a network to a departure control system, DCS, of an airline.
