Total Design Hour Demand Figure 67 shows the section of the model that calculates the overall frontage demand based on the peak period of terminating passengers. This number can then be compared to the existing frontage and a first hand observation of the use and adequacy of the baggage claim area.

The following factors are required for estimating the time a claim unit is in use for an individual flight: • Aircraft seating capacity • Design hour load factor • Percentage of passengers terminating at this airport • Percentage of passengers with checked bags • The average number of bags/passenger • The average bag unloading rate. This rate varies depending on the size of the bags and the number of feed conveyors per claim unit In addition to the time needed to unload the checked bags, additional time is added for bags that are not claimed on the first rotation of the claim unit because passengers either fail to see them or arrive late (add up to 10 minutes, unless there are unusual conditions)

preferred if the baggage off-load area is on the same level as the claim area. Bags are loaded on the secure side, pass though fire/security shutters (which are closed when the claim unit is not in use)

At airports having "positive claim," that is, a railing or wall around the claim units so that a security guard can check if a person has the correct bag, may require additional circulation for queuing at the controlled claim area exits. Additional area, outside of the peripheral claim area, needs to be provided for access to the claim area, circulation to ground transportation counters (rental cars, public transportation, commercial vans, etc.)
