Baggage data analytics row - bag oriented

The AirportIATA code associated with the BagEventLocation where a BagEventCode occurred.

The "Bag First Event Date" is the date of the first bag event for a given bag tag on a given airport.

NB! Tighten description.What is the first event on an airport as opposed to the first event for a bag

The 10 digit bag tag (licence plate) number as defined by IATA. The BagTagNumber is a concatenation of BagTagLeadingDigit, BagTagIssuerCode and BagTagSerialNumber.

The leading digit of a BagTagNumber. The leading digit typically says something about how the bag tag was generated, but is not required to do so by IATA. Airlines are free to use the leading digit differently. Please see BagTagNumber for more details.

The 3-digit IATA allocated code identifying the airline that has issued the bag tag. See BagTagNumber for information about the other parts, and AirlineIATAThreeNumeric for more information about the 3-digit IATA code.

The AirlineIATA code corresponding to the BagTagIssuerCode.

The category ("CheckIn", "Transfer", "Final") this bag belongs to.

• true - The bag is a priority bag.
• false - Default value. The bag is not (known to be) a priority bag.

BagIsCrew indicates if the bag is a crew bag or not.

• true - The bag is a crew bag.

• false - Default value. The bag is not (known to be) a RUSH bag.

A bag that becomes "lost" will in some cases get a new bag tag. Bags might also get new tags for different reasons. This is the new BagTag for the bag. See also BagPreviousTagNumber.

A bag might get a new BagTagNumber for different reasons, see BagNewTagNumber. For a bag with a new tag, this is the previous BagTagNumber for the bag.

The "Bag Total Time In BHS" is the duration the bag has spent in the baggage handling system. BagTotalTimeInBhs = BTBBT - BACIT
If the bag is rejected for technical reasons BagTotalTimeInBhs should be reset.

The "Bag Total Time In MCS" is the duration the bag has spent in a manual coding station (MCS) in total. Multiple visits to MCS by a bag is possible and must be added to provide a correct BagTotalTimeInMcs. If the bag is only once in MCS then BagTotalTimeInMcs = BFMCT - BTMCT

The "Bag Total Time At Security Screening" is the total duration the bag has spent at security screening. BagTotalTimeAtSecScreen = BFLST - BTFST

The "Bag Time At Automatic Security Screening" is the duration the bag has spent at automatic security screening. BagTimeAtAutSecScreen = BFAST - BTAST

The "Bag Total Time In EBS" is the duration the bag has spent in an EBS in total. Multiple visits to EBS by a bag is rare, but possible and must be added to provide a correct BagTotalTimeInEbs. If the bag is only once in EBS then BagTotalTimeInEbs = BFEBT - BTEBT

The "Bag BHS Delivery Attempts Time" is the duration the bag has spent trying to be delivered to a bin. Typically this is because the bin is full, or some other BagToBhsBinProblem.

"Bag BHS Transport Time" is the duration the bag has spent being transported in the baggage handling system (BHS).
Calculation: BagBhsTransportTime = BagTotalTimeInBhs - (BagTotalTimeInMcs + BagTotalTimeInEbs + BagTimeAtManSecScreen + BagBhsDeliveryAttemptsTime)

The "Bag BHS Time Exceeded By" is the duration the bag has spent in the baggage handling system exceeding any service level agreement (SLA) giving the maximum allowed time (BagBhsSlaTime). The maximum allowed time will vary from BHS to BHS, and might also vary based on business rules.

The "Bag BHS Time Exceeded Group" is a grouping, based on business rules, of bags that have spent too much time in the BHS. Grouping is business/airport specific.

The BagEventCount is normally for one bag on one airport, but can be for one bag on all airports, for one flight or for any given period.

The number for BagInfoReceived events for a bag on an airport. This would normally correspond to the number of BIMs received for one bag on one airport, minus one. The first BIM received would normally be a BSM that will trigger a BagTagGenerated event.

The BagToMcsCount is the number of times a bag has been to a manual coding station on one airport.

The number of times the baggage handling system has tried to deliver a given bag to a bin. Should normally be '1', but can be much more in bin full conditions or with other BHS related problems.

The reason for the first rejection of a check in attempt for the bag. This would typically be at a self service baggage drop (SBD). The reason would typically come from the BagEventDescription of the first BagRejected event.

The "Bag Actual Checked In Time" is the DateTimeUTC when the bag was checked and delivered to the baggage handling system. This corresponds to the BagEventCode "BagChecked". This should occur when it is impossible for the passenger to decide not to check the baggage after all. It is however possible for the bag to be rejected for technical reasons (too long). Always UTC.

Indicates how the bag was checked in. This can typically be derived from BagEventLocation.

The location where a bag was checked in. This will typically be the BagEventLocation of the BagChecked event. The BagCheckinLocation must correspond to the BagCheckinType. For instance, if the BagCheckinType = "SBD" then the location should be one of the self service baggage drop locations.
