Travel-Beacons System

Abstract

Travel Beacons System are a small, low-energy device that can be installed or positioned almost anywhere. Typically they are placed on walls, counters or ceilings, but they’ve shown up on restaurant tables, in classrooms and even in stadiums.Install beacons in airports to offer information about their location and where the check-in gates are or the exits.Place beacons near the security check to find out if any of an airline’s passengers are at risk of losing a flight.In train stations, passengers can receive information about any delays and what track they should be on.

In the last year, I have been flying a lot. Most of the time, I’m traveling to conferences all over the world to speak about this kind of thing: building cool stuff to show off what you can do with the modern web. I love what I do, but traveling can be quite a pain!

Most of the time, I’m flying, which means the agonizing, long wait for the luggage to arrive. You stand next to the luggage belt, anxiously watching each of the suit cases as they fall out of the magic, secret luggage storage belt area, and you usually hit several false positives before your piece of luggage actually arrives.
