For this we are promoting use of RFID tags on baggage and tickets instead of barcode tags.
Theoretical analysis
In this work, an endeavor has been presented to modify the conventional rear disc braking system in a motorcycle. In two wheeler, when a pillion load is added, the normal static reaction increases on the rear wheel and during braking operation, the normal dynamic reaction starts decreasing on rear wheel. Furthermore,
So, you are on an airport with too many bags and you are struggling to carry them. Won’t it be cool if one or two of them automatically follow you without you pulling them? Well, Tracktech is a technology that helps you do the same!
